This is an ungraded “watercooler” discussion question. Weigh in with your opinion.

Time magazine reported in its July 30, 2012, issue (pg. 7) that 24% of Wall Street executives say illegal or unethical conduct may be necessary to be successful in finance.

What do you think? Is this survey result surprising to you? Does success in our financial markets really require someone to engage in illegal or unethical conduct? If so, should we or can we do something about that? What role does education play in all this?

Let us know what you think.
