Some maintain it is a product of the logic of capitalism; some blame the neoliberal restructuring of the global economy; others think it is the result of moral weaknesses of the principal actors of Wall Street, and so forth. I argue that at the bottom of this crisis is the elevation of ‘money’ over ‘man’ or profit over humanity. There are two contending paradigms here – the paradigm of profit and the paradigm of humanity. I argue that the paradigm of profit has reached a cul de sac and the only hope left for the post-crisis world is a shift from the first paradigm to the second. The leadership needed to carry out this change will come from the millions of people all over the globe who have suffered most from the recent crisis. The ideal is shared leadership.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderMoral Leadership, Global Ethics, Post Crisis World, Business Ethics, Philosophical perspective on financial crises, Shared LeadershipGlobal ethicsEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsEthics of economic systemsMethods of ethicsPhilosophical ethicsConference proceedings
