| Abstract: | The paper presented at the IES seminar /December 5, 2003/ - a contribution to the Faculty Research Project. The author applies the concept of common good -familiar to the theology and political science- in economics. A coincidence of the sum of individual goods with the common good at the market of perfect competition is discussed and a set of preconditions for this harmony is formulated. A meta-economics raises doubts about egoism as the sufficient postulate for economics. Conflicts of common good among different levels /individual, national, european, global/: great private powerful players dominate post-sovereign states. Multinationals play "tax optimization games" and force states to "tax dumping games". Brain drains and negative ecological externalities complete main directions of this research. |
