Abstract:
If in a previous study, entitled On Ethics, Economy and Capitalism.
An Aristotelian Approach, the emphasis was laid, from an Aristotelian
perspective, on some general aspects of the controversial relationship
between capitalist economy and morality, in the present article we aim at
highlighting the features and at the same time the ethical limits of the
capitalist economic model built in the last two-three decades in the former
socialist states from eastern and south-eastern Europe.
In the second part of our analysis, we will try to identify some major
directions of action by which business in Eastern European capitalist states
could be better adjusted to the ethical dimension, becoming more and more a
place of morality and justice for all actors it contains.
