Session I
The Individual and Market Economy
In what way does the capitalist economic and social system
influence human beings? What role does the maximization of use
play for the individual? How do we measure our respective use?
What is the influence of societal norms and social rules? Would
there be an alternative to the market economy? |

Session II
Does Ethical Conduct (still) Guide Behavior in Business and
Politics?
Why do people act unethically? Do people consciously act
unethically? Does mutual trust still constitute the foundation of
economic and political life? Or is blatant egoism the sole basic
principle of capitalism? Are there any differences between Europe
and the United States? |

What Will Be the Basis of Our Conduct in the Future?
