Abstract: Abstract To affirm the interdependence between economics, ethics and politics is to go clearly against the position held by many (if not most) individuals and economists in particular. But to affirm, in addition, the need to re-establish the supremacy of ethics over politics, as well as of ethics over economics, is certainly akin to anathema to most political and economic scholars. Yet, this is precisely what is argued here, and indeed as a compelling need.1
