| Inhalt |
Economic and financial markets are money based social constructs in which individuals and institutions meet to exchange goods, services, skills and knowledge. We will explore markets both from an economic and a philosophical point of view. Our discussions take us through the history of markets, their justification, critical (moral/functional) voices and the role of the agent based NeoClassical economic models. In particular, we will discuss the moral limits of markets, i.e. question whether there can be a market for “everything”, whether market participants meet on an equal and voluntary basis, and whether the distributional effects of exchange are justifiable. |
| Lernziele |
Having actively participated in the seminar, students will be able to:
a. Define and describe what a market is, presenting supporting and critical arguments for their existence;
b. Reproduce the most important moral questions arising from these positions;
c. Critically engage with economic and philosophical research papers related to our seminar. |
