Economic philosophy is one of the most relevant disciplines of philosophy today, especially in light of globalization and acute crises. The reservoir from which it can draw is surprisingly vast: since antiquity, philosophers have contemplated the nature and purpose of economic activity, the functions of property, money, and markets, as well as the ethical boundaries of economics. Thomas Sören Hoffmann's economic philosophy traces the history of philosophical reflection on economic fundamentals from Plato and Aristotle through Thomas Aquinas and the Reformation era to the classical economic thinkers of modern times, such as Adam Smith, Fichte, Hegel, Marx, Georg Simmel, Max Weber, and others. At the same time, it familiarizes readers with the key economic ethical approaches that are present in today's debates about the compatibility of economics.
