Abstract: Although development ethics is a topic related to studying growth, this area is often forgotten by the field of economics, even in the pluralistic school of social economics. Development ethics argue that society is more than the sum of its individual preferences. Unlike the positivism of conventional economics, development is not seen as growth in the strict sense of material expansion of welfare, but rather as the qualitative enrichment that human beings experience in all aspects of human life. This work proposes a novel paradigm in development ethics from a perspective of social and economic ethics, because social economics poses the proper ethi scal questions, while development ethics provides the appropriate responses.
