Moral Failure in Economics: Journey toward Feminizing Alternatives?

By and large, mainstream male professional economists have produced unethical economics of harm to society. By contrast, women in economics, business and in general are found to be more ethical than men, and from this vantage point, there is scope for useful transformation of society as variously proposed by some female as also male non-economists and maverick as also real world economists. In light of this, students entering economics or management education need not become either cynical or emerge as narrow minded and dangerous to society. On the contrary, they can learn something useful and view the ethical possibilities of economics as socially beneficial and on that basis even aspire to and enjoy becoming life enhancing, socially uplifting leaders. This note is a rough and shallow sketch on these lines.
