 Sürdürülebilir Kalkinmanin Bir Öncülü Olarak Keynes’in “İyi Yaşam” Felsefesi ve Kapitalizm EleştirisiÇiğdem Boz
Yildiz Social Science Review, 2018, vol. 4, issue 2, 187- Abstract: Although Keynes has been known by his short-term policy recommendations for overcoming the recession and recognized as a “pragmatist”, his writings before General Theory offers quite different framework. Beside his emphasis on economics as a moral science, his philosophy of “good life” and critics of capitalism makes him the last man of philosopher-economist tradition. About one century ago, he posed questions about social ideal, inquire the future of capitalism and put some utopic goals. He refused the unlimited economic growth as an end by questioning the ethical aims and outcomes of economic activity. But, unfortunately, utopic and normative aspects of his writings had been eliminated and his longrun perspective about good life has been ignored. Therefore, we can argue that Keynes’s ideas contains many premises of sustainable development which has been very popular recently. The main aspects of Keynes’s social philosophy such as struggle against the unemployment and unequality, cooperation rather than competition, anti-global view, authencity instead of homogenization, are advocated by sustainable development partisans today.
