The financial crisis is about more than money. It is also about morality, casting an uncomfortable light on the links between the activities of bankers and the wellbeing of society as a whole. The idea that economics is morally neutral or that finance should be above ethical scrutiny deserves to be challenged. The Most Reverend Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury and Larry Elliott, Economics Editor of The Guardian, bring together a group of distinguished commentators to open up the ethical debate in the search for a fairer vision of economic justice.
