The Ethics of Economic Responsibility delves into profound ethical inquiries concerning the conceptualization of economic responsibility, encompassing the fundamental obligation to fulfill certain economic obligations. Building upon a foundational understanding of ethics, this book introduces responsibility as a crucial component in shaping a new determination of economic knowledge.

Drawing upon the rich metaphysical tradition of philosophy, the book explores the distinction between operability-based responsibility and end-in-itself-based responsibility, as well as considering a tentative notion referred to as being-related responsibility. By presenting these arguments regarding economic responsibility, the book makes a significant contribution to the growing calls for ethical questions to take center stage in the ongoing discourse of economic sciences, thereby restoring the intrinsic ethical dimension of economics itself.

This book represents a substantial contribution to the literature on the philosophy of economics, applied ethics, and the critical examination of mainstream economics.
