The changes in the data whose reiterated emergence prevents the economic system from turning into an evenly rotating economy and produces again and again entrepreneurial profit and loss are favorable to some members of society and unfavorable to others. Hence, people concluded, the gain of one man is the damage of another; no man profits but by the loss of others. This dogma was already advanced by some ancient authors. Among modern writers Montaigne was the first to restate it; we may fairly call it the Montaigne dogma. It was the quintessence of the doctrines of Mercantilism, old and new.

A transformation of business ethics discourse in modern-day global crises is discussed in this paper. A new conceptual framework and a different intellectual atmosphere for public ethical discourse have been originated. The main question is of changing perspectives to understand ethical issues in business. The problem requires a broad understanding of business ethics as a systematic handling the values in business. Ethics as a critical discipline /i.e. it makes use of critical analysis/ becomes an important perspective of ethical thinking in a situation of global crisis. Analyses and conclusions are based on methods typical for any interdisciplinary applied-oriented study in humanities: interpretation of viewpoints and texts of public leaders in economics, crisis and ethics; comparative and content analyses of social facts and sociological data are used in consideration.
