Although such corporate illegality has its subjective and objective aspects, the last ones are of special importance, since they encourage appropriation of others' labor, if inflation devours a reasonable income, if restrictions do not permit giving full vent to desires, etc. All this results in group, collective, and frequently corporate and institutionalized profitability, the aim of which is to attain maximum profit by minimal efforts. This fosters the growth of legal norms with corresponding punitive measures, which in turn condition the growth of violations. Deviants use various neutralization techniques to justify their dishonesty, including economic offenses, violations of social contracts, and self-management agreements. Many cases show that the moral consciousness of collective bodies is not enough to prevent growing antagonism between the values of particular groups and those values which are advocated outside of these groups. The theory of corporate deviance in conditions of socialist self-management differs entirely from other perspectives on economic crime. Thus, criminology should give it special attention.
