ORMART, Elizabeth; FERNANDEZ, Silvia  y  ESTEVA, Pablo. Bases para una formación ética universitaria en el área de Ciencias Económicas. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2012, vol.41, n.161, pp.55-71. ISSN 0185-2760.

In an effort to identify some key constraints of the current university model, based on the case of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina, we encounter several shortfalls which become obstacles that need to be bridged in advancing the ethical formation of future professionals in economics in order to promote addressing real social demands. Professionals trained in economics should develop this framework and Argentine universities should be responsible for including an ethical perspective of the economy that will benefit oppressed peoples. In highlighting this region, we shall not assume that the rest of the world should not follow suit, rather we acknowledge that in our own country, and particularly in the University of Buenos Aires, training should be tied to the country and its needs, rather than to regional needs.

Palabras llave : Ethics; Higher Education; Economics; Social Responsibility; Education Methodology.
