This book raises fundamental ethical questions related to the conceptualization of economic responsibility, that is: the imperative to fulfil certain economic obligations. It builds on a basic characterization of the question of ethics in order to introduce responsibility as a constitutive element.

Rezensionen
"Routledge recently launched a series named `Economics and Humanities` where several contributions enrich our understanding of economics by reasoning merely with words at the expense of numbers...Several fundamental questions regarding key economic concepts like wealth, gain, loss, truth so on and so forth are tackled in eight different books. Ralf Lüfter's small book fits perfectly into this context by addressing fundamental questions about responsibility in economics."
