Philosophy in the Time of Economic Crisis (eBook, PDF)

Pragmatism and Economy
Redaktion: Stikkers, Kenneth W.; Skowronski, Krzysztof Piotr

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The essays in this volume, drawing heavily on the tradition of pragmatism, suggest that the economic crises of our time (the 2008 collapse of real estate and finance markets) might not be merely technical in nature - that is, the result of faulty applications of economic tools by politicians and policy makers, based up conventional economic models - but also due to the faulty philosophical assumptions underlying those models. These essays suggest that the overcoming of our current economic crises requires that economists once again become moral philosophers, or that philosophers once again engage themselves in economic matters.
