Market and Morality - An Impossible Relation?

Studium Generale | Debate Café

Neoliberalism informs us that our welfare depends on markets being free of government intervention. However, many people have opposed this view, arguing that it does not take into account the moral aspect of human interactions. Morality is indeed something that economic models cannot usually include, so we cannot expect economic theory to lead to moral market regulations.

Highlighted by the hundreds of recent protests, two of the fundamental questions of our time are: How could our current economic system be moral? And what will happen to our society and finally to economic theory, if markets do not behave morally and do not create benefits for the masses? Join tonight’s Debate Café to discuss this important issue with the panel of experts.

This event is a cooperation between SCOPE | Economics and Studium Generale.

The Debate Café is an activity of Studium Generale in cooperation with a student association. It covers important recent developments in science and/or society and is a meeting place for experts, scientists and students. It provides an opportunity for everyone to enter debate with experts and exchange views and ideas. The Debate Café is held in an informal setting.
