Notes

  1. 1.

    A good explanation on the insufficiency of technical resources to avoid crises is also provided by Darrin Snyder Belousek’s (2010) article.

  2. 2.

    See, for example, interviews collected in Der Spiegel, “Interview with Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus”, October 10, 2008. http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,583366,00.html. “Global Crisis—Made in America” http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,590028,00.html.

  3. 3.

    In fact, as stated in the Introduction, great economists were humanists: for example, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich von Hayek, Joseph Schumpeter, Herbert Simon and Albert Hirschman.

  4. 4.

    From the eighth and fifth principles of Ideas for History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose (Kant 1963, Ideen zu einer allgemeinen Geschichte in weltbürgerlicher Absicht, 1784).

  5. 5.

    For a vision of the problems set out by cultural globalization, cf. Thomas Molnar’s interesting book (1991).

  6. 6.

    Cf., for example, Rodrick’s books (1997, 1999, 2007).
