Abstract

This chapter moves from recent critiques of mainstream finance and provides an excursus on the role of ethics in finance. By underlining how several scholars have questioned the essence of neoclassical approaches based on rational behaviors and profit maximization, the chapter focuses on the emerging role of alternative approaches and on the themes of social finance and social banking.
