William S. Bost III Launches Book On Mortgage Industry Ethics

by MMI

RALEIGH, N.C. – Ragsdale Liggett PLLC announces the publication of William Bost’s new book titled, What Does “Right” Mean?: Developing an Ethical Business Environment in the Mortgage Industry. Bost wrote the book to provide mortgage industry professionals assistance in developing an ethical framework in which to operate their individual and collective businesses. In the book, he assesses how ethical principles apply to the ever-changing mortgage business and suggests ways for businesses to benefit by clearly defining their ethical principles.

“No government is capable of promulgating rules that apply in all situations,” said Bost. “A determined person will always be able to find a loophole in a law or rule under which he may do something mean, self-serving, or dishonest. The truly ethical person is aware of the many ways he benefits from the order created by sensible laws, and does what he can to promote and maintain such order. Thus, acting ethically requires adhering to the spirit of the law, not just its clear provisions.”
