Conclusion: Rethinking Economic Ethics

Abstract

It is germane at this juncture to remark on the structure of the whole book, that is, the underlying logic that holds the various theoretical paradigms in the different chapters. If this logic is not properly grasped, the reader might be tempted to think that the various shifts in theoretical perspective are not properly aligned. Because we are dealing with different dimensions and spheres of global capitalism in each chapter, it is necessary to use the most relevant array of theoretical tools and conceptual underpinnings to investigate each one of them. The overall theoretical architecture of the tools and concepts used in the diversity of discourse revolves around anti-fragility, a complex adaptive ethical orientation to global capitalism. The notion of antifragility provides the matrix for understanding the thesis, arguments, logic, and inner dynamics of the book as a whole.
