초록
In this study, I examine classical economic thinkers, Adam Smith and Karl Marx. They questioned how we can create a moral society that serves the common good when people as economic agents are self-interested. By exploring these writers’ social thoughts, I show that social values work as the major role in building the moral base of economic life. Economic order is inevitably related to ethical values. However, many scholars in social sciences too often fail to connect socio-moral values and economic life. This study deals with significant elements that lead to a better understanding of the relation between economic order and social values. I will also seek alternatives to capitalist globalization from current social thinkers. I conclude that the important and rich relation of socio-moral values to economic problems must be reconsidered today.
Abstract
In this study, I examine classical economic thinkers, Adam Smith and Karl Marx. They questioned how we can create a moral society that serves the common good when people as economic agents are self-interested. By exploring these writers’ social thoughts, I show that social values work as the major role in building the moral base of economic life. Economic order is inevitably related to ethical values. However, many scholars in social sciences too often fail to connect socio-moral values and economic life. This study deals with significant elements that lead to a better understanding of the relation between economic order and social values. I will also seek alternatives to capitalist globalization from current social thinkers. I conclude that the important and rich relation of socio-moral values to economic problems must be reconsidered today.
