Economics and ethics seem to have nothing to do with each other at first glance: economic actions aim for returns, while ethical actions focus on moral duty or the concept of a good life. Business ethics has challenged this opposition with various arguments. One line of debate emphasizes that economic calculations do not contradict ethical claims, but that at least long-term economic practices are inherently ethical. Other approaches advocate for civilizing the economic sphere through sanctioning incentive systems, thereby reconciling economics and ethics from the outside. The introduction vividly presents these debates and focuses on the genuinely philosophical questions that inevitably arise in the discussion of the examples.
