The ethics of efficiency in the addictive goods market

The author of the article puts forward an approach uniting alcoholic products, tobacco products, narcotic drugs into a certain group of addictive products basing on the social criterion of utility and the formed negative external effects, which as such are offered to be referred to as "patronized goods". On the assumption of praxiology of social and economic rationality the author distinguishes and classifies ethic-juridical corrupt practices within the markets of the above mentioned goods; ethic efficiency principles are outlined as well. In the article there is substantiated the necessity to overcome the dichotomy between efficiency and ethics while making a choice of management decisions in the threedimensional value space of stakeholders, and namely, society, state, businesses in the addictive goods market. Efficiency managing should include ethics, thus restricting negative and unlawful activities. The ethic approach to the economic relations in the sphere of demand, offer and market regulations of addictive goods is the factor of reducing the stakeholder expenditure and the probability of a state "inconsistence".
