SUMMARY:Constanze Binder (Erasmus-Universität Rotterdam): „Economic Ethics and the Capability Approach“

DESCRIPTION:&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#212121&quot; lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Abstract:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#212121&quot; lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;  This joint work with Ingrid Robeyns (Utrecht University) introduces the  capability  approach and discusses its role in economic ethics. More specifically,  we discuss the concept of wellbeing and freedom underlying the general  capabilitarian framework and&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#212121&quot; lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;argue  that a number of characterizing features of the capability approach,  such as its focus on ends instead of means or the conception of freedom  employed in it, makes  it particularly well suited for the evaluation &lt;/span&gt;of  institutions and economic systems in economic ethics. The article  concludes by pointing to a number of limits and constraints of the  capabilitarian framework in economic  ethics.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
