The falling professional integrity in US and elsewhere

First you have the psychiatrics that diagnosis little children for bipolar sickness and give them up to 100 different drugs, then you have the journalists that let a stupid president as Bush tell them what to write, the scientist that keep their mouths shut because Bush has told them so, then you have the doctors that stop to care for their patiens and focus on money.

"Over the years the discussions at medical conferences began to devote less time to the science behind new innovations and more time to teaching doctors how to make money with the new innovations."

How many Elsevier journals was just fake?
"Elsevier has an entire division dedicated to publishing fake advertorial "peer-reviewed" journals"

and other Journals:
"Bundling is Elsevier's practice of offering steep per-journal subscription discounts if you take the lot. The numbers quoted above are from Cornell's bundled subscription deal, so one can only imagine what the per-journal subscription fees must be. Now, bundling wouldn't be so bad if Elsevier were flexible about it. But they don't seem to be. Don't have a Mathematics department? Tough, you get Applied Numerical Mathematics or you pay per-journal.

This practice is not just designed to increase Elsevier's bottom line, it is also designed to make Elsevier appear larger than it actually is. That is because Elsevier publishes many specialized journals that very few people actually want. These journals are nearly worthless to Elsevier in every respect except two. They enable Elsevier to say that it has the largest single library of peer reviewed journals, and it can advertise about how all these libraries subscribe to their journals—the Journal of Podunk Economics must be important if Harvard takes it.

The point is in my opinion that the Chicago school has given so much faith in greed as a deed better than everything else, even professional integrity that was the pride for doctors, reporters and scientists of all kinds.
