Abstract

This paper sketches five systems of economic ethics in the course of Western history: the Ancient Greeks and Romans, Biblical Judaism and early Christianity; British empiricism; Social Darwinism; and the Church’s modern Social Teachings. This historical perspective helps the reader find the new global ethics of sustainable development that today’s world requires to address most of the pressing issues we are currently facing.
