Discussing ethics applied to finance can become a trivial and
selfjustifying task if left to the practical men, or a task with no
connection to reality, if performed by philosophers. This book, however,
turns out to be an exciting piece of work, useful, provocative, full of
ideas and suggestions, as experts in ethics discuss specific issues
related to the financial institutions and markets, with the men and
women that carry out the daily practice in such institutions and
markets, as well as with scholars of economics and finance. Thus, the
book covers everything from daily subjects to issues of a deeper nature,
using a simple and clear language with solid foundations in economics
and ethics, from a necessarily plural and open perspective.
