At the very heart of the conception of the present volume lies the
conviction that social economics is a highly pluralistic
discipline, inspired and enriched by several often radically
different world views, Schumpeterian visions, and at times even
quite antagonistic social doctrines. Yet, in spite of all these
differences, social economists can nevertheless be seen and also
approached as some kind of economic brotherhood for various reasons
dissatisfied with the austere "value-free" diet offered by the
pOSitivistic neoclassical paradigm. What all social economists seem
to have in common is a profound interest in values and the process
of valuation in order to more fully understand both economic
behavior and the possibilities of improving the economic system.
Such a distinguishing characteristic is also well articulated and
enshrined in Article I of the Constitution of the Association of
Social Economics where we are told that the aims and objectives of
the Association shall be: 1. To foster research and publication
centered on the reciprocal relationship between economic science
and broader questions of human dignity, ethical values, and social
philosophy, [and to] encourage the efforts of all scholars who are
dedicated to exploring the ethical presuppositions and implications
of economic science. 2. To consider the personal and social
dimensions of economic problems and to assist in the formulation of
economic policies consistent with a concern for ethical values and
pluralistic community and the demands of personal dignity.
