In project D, the results of projects A-C will be synthesized and triangulated with each other to provide for reliability and validity of the knowledge created. The synthesis will provide for the compilation, evaluation and interpretation of results. It concerns the following projects:

• A – The telos of free markets: back to the roots
• B – Virtues, markets and human flourishing: An economics view
• C – Virtues and the ‘human flourishing enhancing potential’ of business

The intent is to generate the most comprehensive, detailed and robust overview of knowledge on the impact of virtues in a free market context to date. From the results of the triangulation we will derive recommendations for economic policy, management and leadership.
