“The economy needs a firm moral basis;
it is not
a realm free of morality ... Economic activity always has a moral dimension.”
Helmut Hesse (economist)
In every area of human life,
morality plays a role:
In the economy, in politics,
in society,
in religion, in art and in sports.
But no one of these areas
of human life should be absolutized. Not even morality itself should be exaggerated:
when everything is “moralized”,
it is impossible to do justice
to the
autonomy of the other
areas of human life..
