When someone decides to tell something that was hidden, they are sincere. Honesty is the action by which information is shared that previously was not wanted to communicate.
Why do we open up?
Being sincere implies telling the truth about yourself and, therefore, not being honest means that you are hiding something or that you are directly lying. If someone decides to be honest with another person, their motivation can be very diverse:
1) because you fully trust that person,
2) because you need to vent,
3) because he considers that his moral obligation is to tell the truth or
4) because not being honest is associated with a feeling of guilt.
There may be more reasons to justify sincerity, but the important thing is to emphasize that it is an idea that is valued positively. However, the good reputation of the sincere attitude is quite debatable, since always telling the truth is a very risky option and very difficult to carry out.
The fiscal honesty
From the point of view of taxation, in some countries the so-called "fiscal honesty" law has been enacted. It consists of telling the truth about personal assets and in return they have a series of advantages (usually some tax exemptions). This type of law aims to reward those who comply with their tax obligations.
On the other hand, this scenario is conceived as a mechanism to reduce money laundering and also as a formula to regularize tax obligations with some anomaly.
In the context of the economy
In countries like Argentina, some economists refer to the need to be honest about the economy. It consists of the need to make a series of adjustments and cuts to correct a negative economic situation.
Just like the first thing a sick person has to do to be cured is to recognize his illness and be honest with himself, an economy with weaknesses requires honesty, that is, to recognize the economic "disease" as the first step to solve the state of the economy. usually.
Price honesty
When we pay a price for a product we do not know what is the profit that is generated. In some ways, we could say that sincerity is not the usual rule with regard to prices.
Therefore, a price honesty situation occurs when the final price of a product and the profit obtained from its sale are adjusted to certain levels. This situation with respect to prices is normally an interventionist decision of a government and this measure is intended to promote equality among citizens.
