This video not only explains what Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is, but also discusses the role that social/market institutions play in stimulating virtuous corporate behavior. Even ethical leaders might not guide companies towards taking corporate responsibility if their operating environment is not conducive to it.
This is what we will further investigate in sub-project D:
- How do different aspects of economic freedom (e.g. size of government, quality of legal system and property rights, sound money, trade openness and government regulation) affect human flourishing?
- And, more specifically, how and which type of market institutions affect or facilitate corporate social responsibility (CSR)?
We will also look into the views on virtues, free market institutions and their potential for human flourishing that exist in different cultural zones in Northern Europe, Anglo-Saxon countries and Latin Europe. How are these views related to influential discourses in economics as a science within these cultural zones?
