Kurzfassung/Abstract
This paper gives an account of Homann’s moral legacy from an economic point of view,
both positive and normative. While the economic approach to ethics makes broad use of
new institutional economics, it failed in formulating a closed and self-contained moral the
ory. Moreover, Economic Ethics disregards important strands of the economic literature,
such as the theory of market failure and the insights of mechanism design theory. Besides
the neglect of a substantiated normative approach to ethics, the use of an oversimplified
model of economic interactions leaves this approach theoretically underdeveloped and
unsuitable for the assessment of real-world phenomena.
