It is often assumed in business ethics publications that a business activity is a kind of a profession, and that is why business ethics is treated as the professional ethics. However, such an approach does not seem well-founded because the notion of business does not mean only one, possible to define precisely, kind of activity. One could admittedly recognize that business ethics is the ethics of a businessman; that is, a person being the owner of the enterprise and managing it. However, presenting the issue in such a way, would exclude the activity of these enterprises which do not have a sole proprietor(e.g. state-owned enterprises and joint-stock companies) from the competence of business ethics.

It is important to specify terms – the truth is conformity of a word to a thing or an event, whereas a lie is making the truth unavailable to someone who has the right to it. John Paul II promoted the essential truth that a man is God’s creation; God knows what is good for his creation; human person is God’s image, then should act in such a manner that the image is clear. Faith has moral dimension-it is moral dimension. It is the source of practical involvement which remains in harmony with faith. The principles of one’s conduct are God’s commandments, whereas individualistic ethics, practised in the spirit of illusory freedom, prevents us from discovering the only certain truth-God. Contemporary crisis of society is that faith is rejected and as a result there is breaking off the essential and constitutive bond between the truth and freedom. In economy we can see that the truth in one’s conduct cannot withstand the style of the present geared towards profit. It is proper that the Church supports profit but the profit cannot be the only regulator of a company’s life. There are still human and moral factors. Economic growth should respect human values. Freedom in the economic and social area cannot be torn out from the truth about a human being. The meeting of the Church and the workers’ movement in 1980 showed that it is possible to demand ethics in economy in the name of the truth of a human being-then the civilisation of love is created with its main principles: a person before a thing, more important to be than to have, ethics before technology, mercy before justice, defeat evil with good. Problems existing in this area cannot be disregarded. The matter is important and urging – otherwise, as Pope Leo XIII said in the Encyclical Rerum Novarum, delaying would make evil incurable.

The end of World War I caused a major change in the geopolitical map of Europe, when four continental empires fell apart and a large number of nation-states were formed in their territories. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was among them. Actually, it was a multinational state, created by the unification of the Kingdom of Serbia with the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, which was created only a month before by South Slavonic provinces of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy up to 1918. The changes that occurred during that process were particularly strong in the field of economy, because a completely new economic territory was formed. The goal of this paper is to research their strength and volume in the province of Dalmatia, which was the least developed province of the Austrian part of the Monarchy up to 1918. The research was conducted as a case-study, for which purpose the district of Makarska was selected. All major branches of economy were studied (agriculture and fishery; industry; trade; tourism) in the period from 1918 to 1929, when due to the introduction of King Alexander’s dictatorship and the onset of the Great Depression great changes in the economy life of the Kingdom occurred.

The author undertakes an important issue relating to axiology of activities (individual and collective) incorporated in the Bulgarian financial and economic practice. Moneva points to phenomena which favour corruption and reinforce patterns of illegal conduct and practices distant from what has been recognized in liberal democracies of the West as correct and recommended. Lack of clarity and transparency of power, lack of public oversight over state institutions support persistence of pathological and destructive practices. The article constitutes an important voice in defence of democratic values.

Innovation is an essential factor in the growth and long-term development of businesses, national economies and integration groups. The aim of the article is to highlight the importance of innovation for countries transforming their economic system. A good example is the Visegrad Group, which includes four countries with a level of economic development and similar potential for innovation. The key factors influencing the innovativeness of the analyzed economies were identified. The author stresses the special role of the accession of V4 into the EU in overcoming the difficulties and the main obstacles in the process of systemic transformation.

Economy and society in the Fourth Industrial Revolution

In the globalized world, international communication seems particularly important in the context of the planning and conduct of foreign policy. Apart from traditional forms of interaction such as diplomacy, economy or military means, it is also important to have an impact on the culture and values of other societies. One of the tools for this service is the media and institutions involved in building social bonds, disseminating knowledge about a given country or its language. Depending on the state, these elements may be more or less effectively used in foreign policy. The case of the People’s Republic of China, with its aspirations to the global power, and the current system of power, seems to be a particularly interesting and therefore is the purpose of this study.

The article undertakes an important interdisciplinary topic placed on the boundary between sociological and economic analysis. The author discusses Turkish immigrant work force settled in Austria. The role and place these immigrants occupy in the local social and economic structure reflects on the subjectivity of an individual and on their capability to directly and indirectly impact their environment. Conclusions presented at the end of the article indicate a surprising correlation or interdependence: a long tradition of migration, and extensive historical and cultural links do not translate into a strong position on the labour market. The author tries to answer the question why.

The Mediterranean Area is a very important region at the contemporary international relations. Since 2001 the United States have established closer relations with North African countries. There are two main goals of the American foreign Policy towards Maghreb: one of the main goal of this cooperation is searching for the alternative way of supplying the United States by African gas and oil. Algeria, Libya and Nigeria are one of the biggest holders and exporters of these natural minerals. Nowadays, U.S., European countries and Russia are in rivalry for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and oil contracts with the African partners. The winner of this compete will keep control of the whole market of minerals and from the political, economic and strategic point of view will be stronger in the future. The second one is supporting by Maghreb countries U.S. counter-terrorism military operation Active Endeavour.

The authors offer a picture of the 1960s (and partly also the 1970s) as a period heading for a renaissance of rational economic thinking in the Czech Lands, pointing at certain links to economic discussions of the 1990s. The work is a specialized study on the history of economic thinking, but its character is partly that of remembrance as well. It focuses on two outstanding representatives of the Institute of Economics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in the 1960s, Ota Šik (1919–2004) and Josef Goldmann (1912–1984), and their research teams. As to collaborators of the Institute’s director (and Deputy Prime minister in 1968) Ota Šik, who were offi cially tasked with the preparation of economic reforms at that time, the authors mention contributions of Karel Kouba, Čestmír Kožušník, Bohumil Komenda and Otakar Turek. In 1965, Josef Goldmann established a department of prosperity and economic growth research, which was staffed by many young economists, including the authors of the present study. The latter present an analysis of three directions of Goldmann’s research: a theory of medium-term fl uctuations in the growth rate of central planning economic systems; strategy of economic growth; and research of prosperity. They also describe the infl uence of the theoretical models of socialist economic systems of Włodzimierz Brus (1921–2007) on Šik’s team, and that of another Polish economist, Michał Kalecki (1899–1970), on Goldmann’s thinking. As to macroeconomic issues, the study deals with a period theoretical contribution of Václav Klaus (on infl ation in centrally planned economies), while microeconomics is represented by works of Lubomír Mlčoch (in particular his study on the theory of the fi rm). The study also documents a signifi cant generation dimension of the transformation of economic thinking in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s. In the end, the authors formulate a legacy of the Prague Spring in 1968 in the area of economic thinking. Fifty years ago, the Czechoslovak economics tried to overcome the simplifi ed ideological notion of the centrally planned economy, to better understand the behavior of economic entities, and to use the knowledge to draft an economic reform. Today, we have not yet come to terms with the shift from the principle (ideology) of a “market without attributes” and with the critical analysis of the real operation of the public sector within today’s economy, with a high level of redistribution which is often a long way from market principles. Just like in 1968, the gist of the matter is to better understand the “games” played by various economic subjects and institutions, and hence potential dysfunctions of the entire socio-economic system.

Autoři nabízejí pohled na šedesátá (a částečně i sedmdesátá) léta jako na období směřující k renesanci racionálního ekonomického myšlení v českých zemích a poukazují na určité prvky návaznosti v ekonomických diskusích devadesátých let. Práce je odbornou studií z dějin ekonomického myšlení, částečně má ale i pamětnický ráz. Hlavní pozornost je soustředěna na dvě profilující osobnosti Ekonomického ústavu Československé akademie věd v šedesátých letech, Otu Šika (1919–2004) a Josefa Goldmanna (1912–1984) s jejich výzkumnými týmy. Ze spolupracovníků ředitele ústavu (v roce 1968 místopředsedy vlády) Oty Šika, kteří z oficiálního pověření připravovali tehdejší ekonomické reformy, autoři připomínají příspěvky Karla Kouby, Čestmíra Kožušníka, Bohumila Komendy a Otakara Turka. Josef Goldmann v Ekonomickém ústavu založil v roce 1965 oddělení konjunkturálního výzkumu a ekonomického růstu, ve kterém působila řada mladých ekonomů, včetně autorů předložené studie. Ti podávají rozbor tří směrů jeho výzkumu: teorie střednědobých výkyvů v tempu růstu centrálně plánované ekonomiky, strategie hospodářského růstu a konjunkturálního výzkumu. Přibližují také vliv teoretických modelů socialistického hospodářství Włodzimierze Bruse (1921–2007) na Šikův tým a dalšího polského ekonoma Michała Kaleckého (1899–1970) na Goldmannovo uvažování. V oblasti makroekonomie se studie dále zabývá dobovým teoretickým příspěvkem Václava Klause (o inflaci v centrálně plánované ekonomice) a v mikroekonomii pracemi Lubomíra Mlčocha (zejména jeho příspěvkem k teorii firmy). Dokládá přitom výrazný generační rozměr přerodu ekonomického myšlení v Československu během šedesátých letech. Závěrem autoři formulují odkaz pražského jara 1968 v oblasti ekonomického myšlení. Před padesáti lety se ekonomie v Československu snažila překonat zjednodušenou ideologickou představu centrálně plánované ekonomiky, hlouběji pochopit chování ekonomických subjektů a na tomto základě připravit koncepci ekonomické reformy. Dnes jsme se stále ještě plně nevyrovnali s faktem posunu od principu (ideologie) „trhu bez přívlastků“ a s kritickou analýzou reálného fungování veřejného sektoru v rámci dnešní ekonomiky s vysokým podílem přerozdělování, často mimo tržní principy. Podobně jako tehdy jde tedy o to lépe pochopit „hru“ různých ekonomických subjektů a různých institucí, a odtud i možné dysfunkce celého sociálně-ekonomického systému.

Realizm polityczny i ekonomiczny Mirosława Dzielskiego

Mirosław Dzielski (1941-1989), a Polish philosopher and a political activist, in his academic life at the Jagiellonian University (Krakow) he focused on analyses of metaphysical subtleties of Newton’s and Leibniz’s conceptions of space and time but his main interest were the major problems of ethics and political philosophy combined with economics. Influenced by L. von Mises, F. A. von Hayek and M. Friedman and the idea of the undesigned results of human activities, he identified the main problem of his native country Poland and the whole region under a totalitarian control of the USSR in the 1970s and 1980s, as a search for forces, which would stop its civilizational collapse and begin its rebirth. His idea was to destroy the oppressive system in an evolutionary way through the invigoration of natural propensities to improve one’s situation. Members of the Communist nomenklatura were no exception, and their involvement in economic activities backed by the free market legal framework were to open opportunities to all members of society (individual liberty) and to lead to the economic and civilizational progress followed by a political liberal constitution.

The article explores the general question of how family members articulate the rational and moral dimensions of the economy and the role in this played by language and family discourse - how families do the economy with words. It examines the resources family members employ family discourse to interpret and justify their economic behaviour, and puts forth the hypothesis that economic terms are re-articulated through everyday practices in the family world and that conversations inoculate expert terms with specific meanings. The article introduces the moral economy as a crucial principle of sense-making in family economic discourse and highlights the perception of the future as a key distinction between financial market economies and family-specific moral economies. Three mechanisms by which finance is domesticated are identified: (1) narrativisation - where financial objects are interpreted through the narratives of family history; (2) appropriation - where financial objects are embedded in the family moral economy; and (3) affectivation - where emotions change the meanings attached to financial objects. Narrativisation situates financial objects in time, appropriation sets them in the context of the family-specific moral economy, and affectivation connects them with personal identity and authentic experience.

In every human society, the role of history in determining the level of development cannot be ignored. History is not just an academic discipline, but also the totality of changes humanity has undergone as well as the interactions man enters into with his fellow man on the one hand and the environment on the other since the evolution of the human society. It is therefore, the sum total of these that brings about the development in the society. The history of Africa before colonial conquest is full of various attempts by the people to develop their various areas using indigenous technology, which in some cases are considered very advanced. However, over the years especially after independence, this idea seems to have completely disappeared, which in the view of the paper is due to the neglect of study and knowledge of history. This paper therefore examines the role of the neglect of history in the reality and causes of contemporary economic woes in present day African setting Data obtained from primary and secondary sources were deployed to carry out the study with an analytical and narrative historical method. Findings indicate that the neglect of man in Africa to learn from the lessons of history (both the study and interaction) is responsible for the seemingly gloomy future which the continent is presently faced with as reflected in massive brain-drain, import dependency economy, raw material production industries, and incessant strife among others. The paper concludes that a genuine sense of history, a fidelity to its revelations, courageous acceptance of its judgments and workings and its implications for both the present and future, are necessary steps in the formation of the basic architecture for building a viable Africa. The paper cannot, claim to present the entire history of the continent over the period covered from a uniform perspective. It deal with some selected developments and, in this way, aim to contribute to the presentation of a more multifaceted view especially as it relates to the socio-economic stagnation and decline of indigenous technology of the African continent from a historical point of view.

Inventories, i.e. registers containing the number and value of material elements of a given object or business entity, have often been used in historical research. A lot of historians have written about the value of historical sources of that kind which allow to see a given image from the past more clearly and precisely. The author reconstructs the condition of the 1788 farm in Miejsce, making use of the local inventory.
