How do business and government represent a clash of ethical systems?

Actually businesses have more in common than differences. The idea that businesses are concerned with making a profit at whatever cost does not bear review. It's a false notion. The government, on the other hand, has the task of protecting society and consumers. Consumers are protected by industry as well. If a company is making money it can pay them well in order to attract the best workers. The government will benefit by receiving tax revenues, and therefore meet social standards. With that said it's clear that healthy companies make for more government revenue. Each body assists each other.
