  • The Ethical Evolution of the Modern Diamond Industry
    From Ultimate Rent Seeker to Positive-Sum Stakeholder? The Ethical Evolution of the Modern Diamond Industry Yolande Kyngdon BA International Studies (First Class Honours) A thesis submitted for the fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of New South Wales January 2014 Abstract This thesis considers the moral development of the modern diamond industry from its birth in the final third of the nineteenth century up to the present day. The discussion is framed within a tripartite theoretical grid, with each of the theory’s three elements styled as an ‘arrow’. The first and second arrows are the theories of rent seeking and collective action, respectively, which finely explicate the logic of the specific behaviours and strategies adopted by the diamond industry’s leadership through time. The third arrow is the moral systems theory, which allows for an impartial moral assessment of key industry practices at each phase in its evolution. The study illustrates that the ultimate goal of the industry’s most prominent leaders was to extract optimised rents through the creation and maintenance of comprehensive market distortions. These goals, and the behaviours associated with them, were in practical terms perpetual, being passed down from one generation of industry leadership—embodied in the Chairmanship of the industry’s dominant firm, De Beers—to the next. These actions inflicted aggregate harm on society. The business strategies of De Beers’ leadership consistently breached moral rules—violations that are classifiable as unjustified, and thus immoral. Assessing the moral rule violations witnessed during the respective tenures of De Beers’ most prominent leaders forms the basis of the analysis of the industry’s moral development through time.
