Bettina Hollstein presents a working paper on 'Pragmatist ethics of economics in light of corruption in NGOs, as for example in academic research'

Based on the systematic considerations for a pragmatic ethics of society and economics in my habilitation thesis ('Understanding voluntary work') my new project is to develop elements of a pragmatic ethics of economics. For this end, there will be an emphasis on action theory and emotions, embodiment, creativity, routines, situations, patterns of interpretation and collective narrations. These considerations are to be developed on the basis of specific cases of ethics in economy where corruption is a key element, as corruption has become a topic of attention in the public over the last twenty years. In my paper I will focus on corruption in the non-profit-sector, especially in the sector of academic research.
