I recently read a book about Jews [adults, not teenagers] who were born into Chassidic homes, but went off-the-Derech, and no longer practice mitzvot, unfortunately.
This book mentions several reasons why Jews go off-the-Derech.
Reason Number One was the lack of business ethics [or monetary ethics] in the world of Orthodox Judaism.
Simcha613: Orthodox Judaism already has ethics!
Ethics from the 613 mitzvot, ethics from all of Tanach, ethics from Mishnah, ethics from Talmud, ethics from Midrash, ethics from Halachah books, and ethics from Mussar books.
The problem is not that Orthodox Judaism lacks ethics;
the problem is that people who claim to believe in Orthodox Judaism forget the ethical teachings of Orthodox Judaism.
