Do you mean that it’s impossible to engage in ethical transactions in a system that supports private property? If so, which elements of this existing system would need to change to support ethical consumption?
Cooperatives seem like a great idea. Does that mean that doing business with cooperatives is fine, then? In the event that a cooperative becomes “too” successful and obtains too much power, should it be nationalized, or what’s the solution?
