Abstract

Este trabajo brinda un conjunto de reflexiones sobre el problemático vínculo entre las disciplinas sociales de la Ética y de la Economía. Ese es el modesto objetivo de estas líneas, que no pretenden llegar más allá de ser un conjunto de reflexiones que dejen translucir algunas “hipótesis de trabajo”, que a su vez jueguen como disparadores del pensamiento de los interesados en su lectura. En la primera sección, se presenta una muy breve historia de la Ética como disciplina. A continuación, las siguientes tres secciones pasan una revista evolutiva a la conexión entre Economía y Ética, desde su temprana proximidad hasta su divorcio actual. A continuación, en la sección quinta, se hace mención de una “singular” forma de tocar el problema moral en la Economía, el debate sobre la corrupción y sus efectos sobre la eficiencia. A su vez, en el último acápite se cierra con unas breves palabras finales./ This work provides a set of reflections on the link between Ethics and the Economy. The purpose of these lines is only to provide some reflections that can generate some "working hypothesis", which in turn play as triggers of the thought. In the first section, a very brief history of Ethics as a discipline is presented. The next three sections review the connection between Economics and Ethics, from the old closeness to the current divorce. In the fifth section, we work on a very special aspect of the moral issue, the debate on corruption and its economic effects. The last section provides some final words.
