Elogio dell'uomo economico

[Autom. eng. transl.] "What must be opposed to the destructive drift of the business is not" gratuitousness ", nor even a" business ethics "or a" gift economy ", but the" economy ", simply the economy, must also be a economy to its own name. The latter, to be such, is obliged to respond to a double imperative: it must measure and calculate (it can never proceed by chance: it needs a ratio), but at the time he must also recognize that his calculation (his ratio) is intended for essential reasons to measure himself against the incalculable ". This philosophical essay, starting from an in-depth analysis of the anthropological roots of human living, comes to denounce the perversion of much "creative finance" and the naivety of the different "business ethics".
