This book presents an ethical theory for financial transactions
that underpins the stability of modern economies. It combines
elements from history, ethics, economics and mathematics to show
how these combined can be used to develop a pragmatic theory of
financial markets. Written in three sections; section one examines
the co-evolution of finance and mathematics in an ethical context
by focusing on three periods: pre-Socratic Greece, Western Europe
in the thirteenth century and North-western Europe in the
seventeenth century to demonstrate how the historical development
of markets and finance were critical in the development of European
ideas of science and democracy. Section two interprets the evidence
presented in section one to provide examples of the norms
reciprocity, sincerity and charity and introduce the pragmatic
theory. Section three uses the pragmatic theory to interpret recent
financial crises, address emergent phenomena and relate the theory
to alternative contemporary theories of markets. Presenting a
unique synthesis of mathematical and behavioural approaches to
finance this book provides explicit ethical guidance that will be
of interest to academics and practitioners alike.
