Recenzje

`This colorful set of essays, presented in a variety of topics and approaches, echoes a common aspiration: philosophy, ethics and political theory might help in promoting a new conception of economics. The book provides us with a lot of insightful ideas for the challenges we have in store in the future.' Joan Fontrodona, University of Navarra, Spain 'During the three last decades before the global financial crisis, the tradition of linking economics with politics has been lost. A "new" link between ethics and economics is proposed in this book. The contributors demonstrate that it can be developed on a sociological and philosophical basis in relation to developing responsible practices.' Yvon Pesqueux, Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, France
