My project concerns the financial crisis understood as an axiological crisis, i.e. a crisis both of law and of morality. I will examine whether the crises in law and morality have affected the financial crisis; and how the crisis in the normative systems of law and morality (ethics) have affected the financial crisis. The hypothesis is as follows: the financial crisis is also an axiological crisis – the crisis of law (and the rule of law) and the crisis of morality and ethics (ethics and morality among professionals and non-professional market participants). There is a crisis of law, ethics, and corporate governance, which has produced a special morality and ethics in financial institutions (implicit norms and informal institutions).
Secondary occupation: Adjunct, Torun School of Banking, Torun, Poland.
Vice-dean from 2009 and 2011 in Faculty of Finance and Management. The scholarship of Ministry of Science and High Education for outstanding young researchers (2011-2014), by the Minister’s decision, given for “great research results and the research value for science development”. A lecturer since 2008.
