Descripción
Archivo personal de Franz Hinkelammert
This article analyzes the ethics of the market and how it works within the latter. In the first place, the understanding of this ethics is developed from Plato, through authors such as Adam Smith, Kant, Max Weber and Wittgenstein. Then, it is argued that the uncontrolled capitalist
economy implies a collective suicide that is not a conscious goal, but a consequence of what is being done. Faced with this panorama, the affirmative of life is articulated as an alternative to that collective suicide. The theory of means-end acts is problematized saying that the means-end relationship is always connected with life-death judgments, something that Marx was clear about. It is argued that the life-death criterion must be discovered at the center of the calculation of the market and its ethics.

El presente artículo realiza un análisis de la ética del mercado y cómo funciona dentro de este último. En primer lugar, se desarrolla la comprensión de esta ética a partir de Platón, pasando por autores como Adam Smith, Kant, Max Weber y Wittgenstein. Seguidamente, se sostiene que la economía capitalista descontrolada implica un suicidio colectivo que no es meta consciente, pero sí consecuencia de lo que se está haciendo. Ante ese panorama se articula la afirmación de la vida como alternativa a ese suicidio colectivo. Se problematiza la teoría de los actos medio-fin sosteniendo que la relación medio-fin está siempre conectada con juicios vida-muerte, algo que Marx tenía claro. Se sostiene que en el centro del cálculo del mercado y de su ética se debe descubrir el criterio vida-muerte.
