Both the practitioners and the ones pursuing theory of economy show interest in the matters concerning ethics in business. A question arises, how in the more and more demanding environment, it is possible to be an entrepreneur complying with moral norms. The managerial skills and knowledge should be enriched in a constant process with the issues regarding international management, culture, religious views, as well as ethical rules of different nations. Doing business without fair play is only efficient in the short run. Does it pay off to be an honest entrepreneur? If one performs dishonest actions others are hurt, he loses perspective of seeing good and the possibility of self-development. He also cannot achieve the ethical or social aspect of his business activity. The low ethical level of the market actors can spread easily and become a standard, which worsens business conditions. Ethics is about the matters that are not covered by law and surely will never fully be. It is the entrepreneur, who is a judge for himself has to make the decisions. Nowadays, more and more businessmen appreciate the role of ethics in conducting business. It is essential to assure that the number of the ones who think the opposite way is decreasing.

Economic performance is described and explained by both economics and business ethics. Suggested by business ethics the cultural aspect includes different than assumed in economic science forejudgements which concern the nature of economy as well as the attendance of taking part it subjects – member of a particular society. The most important foundation is recognition that economy, which makes part of social reality, is under cultural conditions out of the economic ones. Since ethics and the mainstream economics presume two different ideas of social reality there is no chance to interdisciplinary discussion on economic performance. The aim of this study is to present a new methodological approach: social constructivism which could be applied to describe and explain economic processes and performances as related to custom and ethics. The author believes that the constructivist approach can be developed by institutional economics which is an alternative to mainstream economics.

W artykule została postawiona teza, że o stopniu profesjonalizmu, o etyczności czy nieetyczności zachowań specjalistów PR można mówić oceniając wpływ realizowanych przez nich zadań na społeczeństwo. Uznano tym samym społeczeństwo - w którym są realizowane działania PR dla określonych podmiotów- zleceniodawców i których odbiorcami są wybrane grupy interesariuszy - jako pełnoprawną grupę odbiorców działań oraz jednocześnie wysunięto postulat, aby uznać społeczeństwo za grupę, której uwzględnianie w ocenie skutków realizowanych strategii PR i badanie ich wpływu na kondycję tej grupy jest głównym kryterium w ocenie etyczności podjętych działań public relations.

The article emphasises social character of public relations activities, interaction of organizations and society, and puts forward a thesis that the criterion of ethics in public relations activities is how much impact they have on a society: if a PR strategy is profitable only for one or two arties of the so called ethical triangle - an ordering and a contracting party, but excludes the profit to a society, then such activities may be recognized as unethical. To estimate whether activities of PR specialists are ethical or unethical, one must evaluate the impact of those activities on a society.

This article deals with the relationship of Judaism to economic activity. The subject is the typical approach of Jewish ethical thought, concerning the understanding of money, wealth, jobs and economic initiatives. Issues related to fundamental economic life are shown to be covered in the books that the Jewish community considers sacred. Particularly important are the Old Testament and the Talmud. Also important are references to the cultural interpretation of Judaism, including the classical works on the subject – Jacques Attali and Werner Sombart. The key concept is the subject of “wealth,” the meaning of which is derived from the Bible’s Book of Exodus and the Talmud. Finally, the foundations for Jewish economic thought can be expressed as the product of an embedded culture, which is founded on religion, in which property acquires ethical legitimacy. The argument is crowned with historical examples of the noble economic activity of the Jewish people, which also give evidence of the interrelatedness of religion and the proper use of wealth.

Zagadnieniem własności oraz związanym z nią przedmiotem badań zajmują się nie tylko ekonomiści, lecz także przedstawiciele innych nauk społecznych. W naukach ekonomicznych w ostatnich dekadach problem własności nie jest jednak często dyskutowany. Zwłaszcza ekonomia nawiązująca do gospodarki rynkowej, w tym przede wszystkim liberalna, neoliberalna i głównego nurtu, bardzo rzadko podnosi te kwestie. Tym bardziej niełatwo jest znaleźć teksty badające własność z punktu widzenia nierówności społecznych i etycznych zachowań podmiotów rynkowych. Trudno wytłumaczyć ten status, albowiem wśród novum dokonanych w teorii ekonomii w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach, wyszczególnia się najczęściej obok teorii kosztów transakcyjnych, teorii asymetrii informacji, również teorię praw własności. Celem opracowania jest próba wskazania i uzasadnienia stanowiska, że w sferze praktyki ekonomiczno-społecznej własność jest niewątpliwie fundamentalnym atrybutem „głównego nurtu” życia społecznego, lecz warunkiem utrzymania tego status quo jest przede wszystkim konfrontacja oraz jakość tej konfrontacji w relacji własność–−etyczny wymiar rozporządzania własnością.

Not only economists but social studies’ scholars as well are deeply interested in the issue of ownership. In the last few decades economy has not faced too many debates in that field. Especially market economy, and most of all its liberal, neoliberal and mainstream branches rarely raises the questions. It is thus not easy to find contributions researching ownership from the perspective of social inequalities and ethical reactions of market entities. The state of the matter originates in the fact that among nova of the theory of the economy in the last decades there is, along with the theory of transactional costs and the theory of informational asymmetry, also the theory of the ownership rights. The aim of the paper is to argue that the economical-social practice ownership is without a doubt the fundamental attribute of the “mainstream” social life but the reason to maintain such a status quo is most of all a confrontation and its quality on the level of the relation between ownership and the ethical dimension of ownership management.

Artykuł podejmuje tematykę związku judaizmu z szeroko rozumianą aktywnością gospodarczą. Przedmiotem rozważań jest typowe dla etyki żydowskiej rozumienie pieniądza, bogactwa, pracy i gospodarczych inicjatyw. Fundamentalne dla życia gospodarczego kwestie ujęte zostają w odniesieniu do ksiąg uznanych za święte i szczególnie ważne w tej religii (Stary Testament, Talmud). Równie ważne są referencje do kulturowych interpretacji judaizmu, w tym do dzieł klasyków tematyki – Jacquessa Attaliego czy Wernera Sombarta. Kluczowym dla tematyki pojęciem jest „bogactwo”, którego znaczenie zostaje wyprowadzone kolejno z Biblii (Księga Wyjścia) i Talmudu. Ostatecznie ekonomika żydowska daje się przedstawić jako wytwór kultury osadzonej i ufundowanej na religii, a majątek zyskuje etyczną legitymizację. Wywód wieńczą historyczne przykłady aktywności gospodarczej Żydów, będące jednocześnie dowodem na wzajemne powiązania bogactwa i religii.
