Abstract: In spite of the philosophical and theological traditions that make ethics and economy basically linked to each other, business ethics as a field of research is really born in USA at the end of '60s. We have identified three historical periods in the evolution of business ethics in the United States: (1) the first steps in a basic concern for ethics, within the American business community (1961-1976); (2) the growing ethical concern in American large companies (1977-1990); (3) the governmental justification of any use of ethics for materialistic motives (1991-2002). In these three periods, we will present the most significant researches in business ethics, whether they adopted a descriptive, normative or analytic approach.
