Summary

This quote highlights the fallacy in equating economic necessity with moral justification. It suggests that some individuals tend to justify their actions or decisions by deeming them morally acceptable simply because they serve economic interests. However, the quote challenges this assumption, emphasizing that moral rightness cannot always be determined solely by economic factors. It implies that there are situations where economic necessity might compel people to do things that are morally questionable or ethically unacceptable. In essence, the quote serves as a reminder that the ethical dimension should not be overshadowed or ignored in favor of economic considerations.
