The system is best where moral actions emerge from rational self interest. E.g., being trustworthy is moral but also good for business. We want systems like that.

Not sure I agree. Paying doctors to promote pills is good for business but doesn’t seem very moral, per se.

That only works for those doctors when there's no transparency that they're being paid for it.
