Wirtschaftsethik der Globalisierung

We are confronted daily with the problems of globalization. Many people regard globalization as a threat not only to their economic existence but also to the way they see themselves culturally and morally. For these reasons many of them join ATTAC or other organizations, and their protests have been known to escalate at international conferences.
Underlying these protests are often intuitive attitudes towards globalization. The authors of the articles in this volume have organized these attitudes into distinct dimensions of the problem, so that these can be dealt with separately and, if possible, re-integrated into an overall picture.
It is an undisputed fact that globalization has normative, cultural dimensions. But these problems are often discussed apart from the economic dimensions, or in direct contrast to them. The editors hope that this volume can help overcome this unproductive division of the discussion into normative questions and economic considerations.
