AFAIC, "ethics" is not a scalar, but a switchable bit, so it's not a matter of strength, but binaryness.
would you still be involved in business?
It sounds like you're asking, "Would I ever sacrifice my personal standards for money?" Then answer is, "No, it's just not worth it."
If I had to compromise my ethics (or any other part of myself) just to improve my chances of making a deal or be more effective in business, I wouldn't even bother. I'd probably just go off and drink beer or write poetry or something like that. You may not like or understand my answer, but that's just the way it is.
Life is just too short to live it any way other than how you choose.
