Countering the claims that competition contradicts and undermines ethical thought processes and actions, Christoph Lütge successfully argues that competition and ethics do not necessarily have to oppose one another. He highlights how intensified competition can in fact work in favour of ethical goals, and that many criticisms of competition stem from an out-dated understanding of how modern societies and economies function. Illustrating this view with examples from ecology, healthcare and education, the author calls for a more entrepreneurial spirit in analysing the relationship between competition and ethics. This book delivers important arguments for the ethics of innovation, using a combination of theoretical and practical evidence to support it.Researchers and scholars of economics, business, philosophy and politics will greatly benefit from the fresh interdisciplinary perspectives and thorough exploration of the complex relationship between modern competition and ethics.

Gerade in schwierigen Zeiten ist eine realistische Perspektive auf Wirtschaft und Ethik wichtig. Gerade wenn viele Menschen Illusionen nachhängen, besteht die Gefahr, dass zentrale Antworten auf wirtschaftsethische Grundfragen der Marktwirtschaft in Vergessenheit geraten oder ganz verlorengehen. Christoph Lütge behandelt solche Grundfragen wie jene nach Gerechtigkeit oder Wettbewerb, widmet sich aber auch neuen Problemstellungen wie etwa: Welchen Stellenwert haben experimentelle Forschungen für die Ethik? Welche wirtschaftsethischen Fragen stellen sich im Zuge der Digitalisierung sowie der künstlichen Intelligenz? Welche ethischen Herausforderungen bringt das autonome Fahren mit sich? Entlang solher und weiterer Fragestellungen wird aufgezeigt, was eine realistische Wirtschaftsethik zu klassischen und aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Debatten beitragen kann.

It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. In an increasingly globalized world, business ethics continues to gain importance as a field of study. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts of business ethics related to the economy as a whole, as well as more closely understood corporate ethics related to the individual company. In contrast to more casuistic works on the topic, special emphasis is placed on a coherent theoretical foundation that puts economic analysis tools at the centre of the consideration. Both classical and experimental economic approaches and results are called upon. The importance of often-neglected dilemma structures and the resulting implications for an ethics of the modern age are given wide scope, while special attention is also paid to the value of empirical research for business ethics. A substantial portion of the book is devoted to corporate ethics and explores issues that encompass corporate responsibility in the context of compliance, corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, and creating shared value. This is intended to provide students and academics with an aid in the theoretical classification of the variety of concepts that often coexist incoherently in contemporary debate. As the topic has evolved, it has extended far beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries. This book is intended for students in the social sciences, particularly economics, business, and psychology, as well as the computer sciences, engineering, and the natural sciences.
