Financial misconduct has come into the spotlight in recent years, causing market regulators to increase the reach and severity of interventions. We show that at times the economic benefits of illicit financial activity outweigh the costs of litigation. We illustrate our argument with data from the US Securities and Exchanges Commission and a case of investment misconduct. From the neoclassical economic paradigm, which follows utilitarian thinking, it is rational to engage in misconduct. Still, the majority of professionals refrain from misconduct, foregoing economic rewards. We suggest financial activity could be reimagined taking into account intrinsic and prosocial motivations. A virtue ethics framework could also be applied, linking financial behavior to the quest for moral excellence and shared flourishing. By going beyond utilitarian thinking and considering alternative models, we offer a fuller account of financial behavior and a better perspective from which to design deterrence methods.

Basándose en fuentes escritas y gráficas de los siglos XVIII-XIX, además de en otros testimonios del XX incluidos como apéndice, se analiza la evolución que pudieron tener en Ibiza las gonelles tradicionales, en general consideradas pervivencias fósiles de épocas lejanas. Frente a ello, y por carecer el pueblo de memoria histórica, se señala la necesidad metodológica de estudiar esta manifestación indumentaria desde la perspectiva etnohistórica, conjugando el trabajo de documentación y de campo con el estudio iconográfico.

The controversy that aroused in the thirties provoked by the way in which Amadeo Roca represented the traditional costumes of Ibiza in his paintings acts as the structural axis of this article in order to deepen in the appropriate concept of ideal of group and in the evolutionary process that affects it. The clash between established correctness (limited by the loss of historical memory) and artistic freedom (not lacking ethnographic documentation and content) offers an interesting field of study in which ethnohistorical methodology must take part. Beside this the painter’s convenient stay in a peasant village of the island sketches an anthropological view of the place and the moment, interrelated with the process of achievement and indeed of disappearance of a part of his work.

La polémica que en los años treinta suscitó la manera con que se mostraba la indumentaria tradicional ibicenca en la pintura costumbrista de Amadeo Roca sirve de eje estructural al artículo para profundizar en el correspondiente concepto de ideal de grupo y en el proceso evolutivo que le afecta. El enfrentamiento entre la corrección establecida (limitada por la pérdida de memoria histórica) y la libertad artística (no exenta de documentación etnográfica y contenido) ofrece así un interesante campo de estudio en el que ha de tomar parte la metodología etnohistórica. Junto a ello, la oportuna estancia del pintor en un núcleo de la payesía isleña, esboza una visión antropológica del lugar y el momento, interrelacionada con el proceso de realización, e incluso desaparición, de parte de su obra
