Changing Economy - Talk show

Maastricht University | Lecture and talk show

The economic crisis made us realize that we have to look at economics and the role of the banking sector in a different way. One of the basic principles of economics is that you don’t talk about ethics. However, can economics, or banking, really be value-free?

Sedlacek portrait

Is it just a technical discipline? Is interest rate, one of the core ideas of banking, an ethical issue? Do bankers need to learn not only about money but also about morality?

Tonight, Tomáš Sedláček and Joris Luyendijkwill discuss the need to restore some spirit to the efficiently working body of the economy.
