Afraid it's not hard to concieve. In a world ruled by bean-counters, there will be constant pressure on management by the owners to increase the margin of profit. Especially where the owners are not human, but other corporates.

By any means possible.

That's exactly what I mean. But in making the argument, I'm falling into the same trap Austrian economists fall into. That if people didn't cheat the system, it would never fall into ruin. But cheating the system is so easy, that it's actually the natural state of the economy.
