Abstract
Prof MV Nadkarni in ‘Ethics for our Times’ says that ethical propositions apply to everyone. Ethics like Economics, involves choice between different kinds of life. It promotes the welfare of all. Ethics is not meant only for individuals acting in isolation. It is in the 21st century that people have realized the true interdependence of all people in the world. Carbon emissions and climate change have led to understanding that development in one part of the world can harm others and in the future as well.
