Since the eruption of the 2008 financial crisis, I have focused my research to finding out why the monetary and financial system, so periodically, entails serious financial crises, going back as far as the Middle Ages during which the currently prevailing financial and monetary system took form. One of the conclusions of my research has been that many of the monetary and financial problems still gripping the world economy up to the present date can to a large extent be blamed on the basic choice of values on which Western socioeconomic policies have been based since the late Middle Ages. It is generally known that the decline of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century all but stopped trade in the Western European territories and that its resuscitation in the Middle Ages has gone hand in hand with an historical choice for “egoism” and “greed” as driving forces for human behavior, in particular in the socioeconomic context. Initially more a practical than a theoretical choice, the choice for greed and egoism as central socioeconomic values would gradually evolve into an elaborated economic doctrine, the so-called economic liberalism, which itself, during the past decades, has reappeared under its modern-day form of “economic neoliberalism.” Especially in the twentieth century, several attempts have been made to offer “alternatives” or “correctional methods” to the capitalist society shaped by economic liberalism, which since then, in the 1980s and 1990s, have been heavily opposed by the doctrine of economic neoliberalism. The latter would especially and more fiercely than ever in history put forward the idea that all theoretical and practical socioeconomic policies should be based on egoism and greed. One of the conclusions of my research has been that said basically ethical choice may very well be one of the main causes of the numerous financial and economic problems that have poignantly manifested in the recent past. This insight inevitably prompts the question what might be a possible alternative to the domination of economic neoliberalism and the unjust society it entails, especially within the scope of the monetary and financial system
