Abstract

The global financial crisis and recent international events are interwoven by important questions about the connection between ethics and economics, and the responsibilities the economic market has in relation to broader social and political concerns. This paper presents some of the dimensions of the debate between ethics and economics that lie beneath the fundamental matter of ethical responsibilities’ importance in the financial crisis. This will
be analyzed from a point of view that considers there is a strong link between ethics and economics, which represents a challenge to the traditional scope that states there should be a strict separation between ethical and economic rationality.
