From the mid-1970s until the crisis in 2007, the world of finance
enjoyed thirty euphoric years as the general public, businesses and
governments put their blind trust in financial techniques,
professions and institutions. Shaken up by a structural crisis and
a crisis of legitimacy, today's financial sector can no longer
afford to avoid the issues summed up by the key question: what is
next for the role of ethics and responsibility in finance? Many see
an unbridgeable gap between ethics and responsibility and financial
practice. Ethics and Responsibility in Finance paves the way for
the dialogue that is needed in order to solve the current problems
and allow the return of a refined ethical thinking in the financial
sector. This book opens with an in-depth analysis of the
operational implications of two key notions: ethics and
responsibility. It then addresses ethical dilemmas that are
characteristic to each of the three actors involved in any
financial transaction. This begins with the discussion of the
dilemmas of the ultimate owner of funds: the individual or
collective saver, as in the case of pension funds. The analysis
then turns to financial intermediaries such as banks, insurance
companies, asset managers, and consultants, who work in a web of
different loyalties. Finally, the dilemmas of the user of funds are
addressed - the household taking a mortgage, an enterprise or a
public authority which borrows - all of which have to be clear on
the reasons and values driving their decisions. This volume is of
great interest to those who study banking, corporate finance and
ethics philosophy.
