Problem:
Interpreting the ethical dimensionality of shadow market activity calls upon us to assess sociology and behavioral economics. These perspectives enable one to explain the various motivations that incent an individual to participate in the shadow economy alongside or in lieu of participating in the formal economy.
For instance, a person who knows many others working in the shadow economy will himself or herself be more likely to join, even if doing so contradicts his general philosophical outlook on morality.
In such a case, which of the below ethical perspective best describes it and why?
1. Relativist
2. Normative
3. Utilitarian
4. Deontological
