Why Be Honest If Honesty Doesn’t Pay

"There is no compelling economic reason to tell the truth or keep one’s word"

This article was from 1990 but I sure hope no one "educated" wrote this. The ignorance of that statement is astounding.

I wont even bother going into the millions of economic reasons to tell the truth. That doesnt mean it always economical to tell the truth, but to act like there are none is absurd.
