Abstract

Quale tipo di relazione esiste tra economia e etica? Entrambe le discipline si occupano del comportamento umano, ma con diversita' di intenti: l'economista e' alla ricerca di quei principi che spiegano le interazioni di soggetti che vivono in societa' e che riguardano la produzione, lo scambio, il consumo, etc. di beni e servizi (con tutto cio' che questo implica); l'eticista si occupa dei principi capaci di giustificare perche' certi modi di interazione, piuttosto che altri, sono giusti, benefici o desiderabili. Ne deriva che se e' vero che le spiegazioni dell'economista non ci dicono se il comportamento umano che egli studia e' eticamente giustificabile, del pari vero e' che le giustificazioni dell'eticista non ci dicono se il comportamento che egli studia e' economicamente esplicabile. Si deve allora concludere che tra economia e etica non c'e' collegamento alcuno, come non pochi degli studiosi di entrambi i campi ancor'oggi ritengono? Non proprio - si sostiene -perche' entrambe le discipline, in quanto interessate al comportamento di agenti razionali, fanno appello alla categoria di razionalita'.
