Good finance and good corporate cultures
The key aspects of ethics, enterprise and finance summarised in a collaboratively written book
Economy and finance confronted with ethics and concern for others – an encounter that needs to be constructive in nature and that must be guided with great attention. Attention that can be heightened by reading Etica ed educazione finanziaria (Ethics and financial education), an excellent collection curated by Paolo Moro and Mario Pomini, who have assembled contributions by economists and legal experts which apply an interdisciplinary approach and linear presentation to some recent perspectives developed within the spheres of scientific research and teaching practice. Indeed, the work’s emphasis – significant and not to be neglected – is precisely on those links between ethics and financial education, and, in fact, the entire book is based on the argument surrounding the central role that financial education, also understood as civic education, has nowadays.
Thus, some major themes of the day are explored in detail: consumer ethics and the “merit” of debt, ethical and legal aspects in the provision of investment services, the financial culture of small and medium businesses and of banks – also in terms of sustainability – and how speculative investment is structured within the financial system. This work also includes a timely and up-to-date view on fintech education, with a legal and economic analysis on algorithmic market trading and the thorny issue of investing in crypto assets.
Hence, the book outlines the necessity for a “financial culture” that is still struggling to make its way in Italy and that could actually and legitimately accompany precisely that good corporate culture now seen as an essential part of economy and society, though still in need of constant attention.
In just under 200 pages, Moro and Pomini (full professor of Philosophy of Law the former and associate professor of Political Economy the latter, both at the University of Padua), provide a kind of clever handbook useful to find one’s way along the circuitous paths connecting ethics to finance, and among the proper relationships that constitute a major part of society and financial structures.
