no ethical principles with brief textbooks definition to defend your claims

It is evident that firms should be provided with an opportunity to conduct their activities without any interferences from the ruling class. (1) correct format must be used- point deduction will occur when direction not followed This means that the aspect of free market should not be denied to firms, in this case, free market can be defined as a type of market system where people can be able to conduct their economic activities based on the aspects of supply and demand without interference from the government. (2) what is the ethical principle to defend this claim This means that all the activities that take place are voluntary and are not in way controlled. (3)From this particular aspect of Caltex it is clear that the USA government should not have controlled the business activities of this company since it was not fair. In this case, having the USA companies invest in South Africa could have led to the strengthening of the USA economy, this could have been possible because the USA could have been in a position of earning foreign exchange. Moreover, this could have led to the development of employment opportunities for USA citizens and thus improving the overall life conditions of these particular employees. However, due to the apartheid regime the USA denied its companies the opportunity to invest in South Africa and thus this was a blow to people who were in a position of getting employed (Röpke, 2014).

Through the aspect of free trade, Caltex could have been in a position of providing utilitarian benefits and in this case the benefits could have more when compared to what the USA government was against and that is the apartheid regime. It is evident that the Caltex Company could have utilized this particular opportunity to invest in South Africa by being of help to those who had been affected by the apartheid regime. Caltex could have offered a chance to those oppressed by this regime to make their lives and that of their families better. In this case it is clear that moral rights and justice were important aspects to be put into consideration but denying Caltex an opportunity to establish itself in South Africa was not an ideal decision  (Seidman, 1979).
