Think, pair, share (p.58)
Some people argue that counterfeiting benefits consumers by
giving them access to lower-price goods. This is a totally mistaken
claim. First, imitated goods are poor quality and do not last long.
There is then no guarantee of value for money and more importantly,
that fake goods are safe. Imagine how much damage low quality parts
fitted in a car can do to the driver and passengers when they fail!
Secondly, if we think of fake foods or medicines, and the criminal
procedures used by the people who make them, we can only remain
firm on buying genuine products. There are several cases of substitute
edibles which have caused dangerous diseases to people and which
have resulted in long-lasting law suits. The outcomes could only be
50
compensations paid for irreparable damage but the moral damage
caused to the victims can never be repaired! Recent figures released
by the European Union show that the customs are confiscating 100
million fake items every year.
Thirdly, it is highly immoral to reap where other people have
sown. Pirating products is indeed imitating other people’s property,
and refusing to engage in a creative act. It is much more rewarding to
turn one’s abilities to creating new objects of value that could serve
the community, or improve the performance of existing ones.
Fourthly, pirating objects is by essence theft, especially when
the producer of a fake item affixes the label of a well-known trade
mark on it. Some countries are notorious for their practice of
counterfeit objects. One wouldn’t like Algerians to be known for
practising this dubious trade, as much as one wouldn’t like to see them
buy cheap, fake products and head into unsuspected troubles.

Proverbs and sayings
1. Money talks
Here ‘talks’ means carries weight, in the sense that it is influential. It
is possible to do much more with money than without.
‘Why did the members side with Mr X at the annual general meeting?
Mr Y’s arguments were much more convincing.’
‘Mr X is a rich man and Mr Y isn’t. If we’d accepted Mr Y’s
proposals, the Club would have lost the support of Mr X. Money talks,
you know.’
Equivalent of the saying : A golden key opens every door.
2. The love of money is the root of all evil.
All kinds of wickedness and tribulations spring from the desire to
become rich. The source of this saying is Timothy (in the Bible) I./10.
Note that it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, not money
itself.
51
3. Everyman has his price.
All people can be corrupted in one way or another. This is a very
pessimistic point of view to hold about human nature.
4. Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after
themselves.
The opposite of this saying is Pennywise and pound foolish, which
means careful in small matters and foolish in large matters. The saying
recommends that we should be careful about small expenses so as to
save money and invest it in profitable ventures.
5. Money can’t buy you love.
There are things that you can’t buy with money. One of these is love.
6. Money doesn’t grow on trees.
We should be careful about money because it isn’t easy to get.
7. Business is business.
Business does not take into consideration other matters than those of
business. What matters most is profit, i.e., the amount of money you
can make out of a business deal/transaction.

Say it in writing (p.64)
Ladies, gentlemen
Some people say that businessmen should apply their own personal
ethical standards when doing business. They tell us that you need
money to make money; that the world of business is a jungle; and that
if we respect ethics, we can undermine the values of hard work and
freedom. Let me tell you that I don’t agree with these arguments at all.
I believe that such arguments are only excuses to escape the
responsibility of business companies towards the welfare of society as
a whole. As far as I am concerned, I say that ethics has everything to
do with business….
