Economic Agents, Ethics and International Economic Organisations
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: The last sixty years have seen international economic organisations maintain a position at the forefront of promoting economic growth and socioeconomic development. These organisations have not achieved as much against certain benchmarks, and several observers have ac-cused them of being unqualified to meet the needs of the poor, and even found them guilty of something worse, such as famine and dis-ease. Although these organisations have organisational behaviour and skills, many of their funded projects lack forcefulness to such an ex-tent that they should only be answerable through achieving certain eco-nomic facts by way of ethics andmorals. We design ethics andmorals as two interconnected concepts, and the rationale that binds all economic agents to their respective obligations must be interpreted by effective courses of action dictated by economic realities. Key Words: ethical and moral codes, international organisations, national agents, political economy jel Classification: a11, f02
