(60:3) World ethics will involve the issuing of new laws that will no longer pay attention to the color of skin, the nation of origin, class or party, military or financial power, or belonging to a religion. Laws will have to aim at the protection of humanity and prevent the entrepreneurial system from striving towards its only goal, profit at any cost. In short, economy and enterprises will be at the service of man and not man at the service of economy. Ethics at the service of the enterprise meant as a qualitative improvement of production and of earning and not as a means in itself. Ethics as a way of living and working in day-to-day business and not only on Sundays. Ethics as coherence in every day work activities. Ethics as methodology at work and in the relations among different professional categories. Ethics in the new paradigm of financial and company management of assets and tools, where work becomes a means to service, almost to the rank of "worship" when it is performed in the spirit of service for the betterment of society. Ethics as excellence in all things.
