Abstract

This chapter delves into the ethical imperative of utilizing “Goodness in Use” within economic systems, challenging the notion of “necessary evil” by advocating for inherently good methods to achieve economic outcomes. It explores philosophical dilemmas and real-world scenarios, such as wartime decisions and medical research, to illustrate the complex interplay between ethics and practicality. The chapter emphasizes that the means of achieving goals are as crucial as the outcomes, advocating for a shift toward actions rooted in goodness as a fundamental approach to resolving economic and social challenges. Through examples and philosophical discourse, it argues for expanding goodness to transform societal norms and achieve sustainable peace and welfare.
