What do we understand as ‘markets? Are there moral reasons to ban markets from certain spheres of life? Do markets reward immoral behavior?

Prof. Jack Vromen (Director of the Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and Economics) will tackle these questions and more in our webinar “Markets and Morality”. He will provide us with an introduction to the concepts of ‘morality’ and ‘competitive markets’ before examining how morality interacts with economics in cases of market failures and increasing marketization. Lastly, he will discuss whether markets tend to erode or foster moral values.
