>if you can reshape the incentive structures then you can discourage the action

Yes, which is why it's important to be politically involved, governments are the ones with power to change incentive structures at the scale of large companies or society-wide. I do agree with your first paragraph, but your second paragraph does not make sense to me, it's not "blaming it on politics", politics is the exact mechanism to enact the changes you refer to in your first paragraph.

perhaps we're thinking of politics in different senses - it is, after all, quite an overloaded word. I meant politics as in people's personal perspective and beliefs about the world. I agree that engaging in the politics of changing our governance for the better is necessary.
