Bernhard Emunds: Problems of Justice in Private Financial Transactions in Developing and Transition Countries. Starting Points for an Ethics of International Financial Markets
On international fi nancial markets mostly private actors change money and other fi nancial assets. Indirectly, thus enabled by these private transactions, also peoples cooperate, namely the nations integrated in the international fi nancial markets: Their governments defi ne the rules, which regulate, how the entirety of private fi nancial transactions infl uence the participating national economies. Important justice issues do not become visible until one takes on this perspective, in which international fi nancial markets are understood as an inter-national system of cooperation. This is particularly true for the important question, how these markets have an effect on the extremely poors’ chances to realize their right to achieve enough goods to survive.
