Abstract What is economic ethics? Instead of delivering simple answers to that manyfold topic it is necessary- as a good doctor does before therapy - to thoroughly look at the conditions, influences and dimensions of a given problem. Thus it is crucial to investigate for the different perspectives of scientific disciplines involved, the understanding of reality, rationality, responsibility, the specific conditions for ethics and economic structures, the specific background of ethics and science in the advanced industrial society. At the time being there are more questions and new horizons to connect than answers.

Not long ago, sociologists and labor economists used to talk confidently about the “natural history of the strike”. By that they meant its rather smooth progress along a line that supposedly rose rapidly in the early stages of industrial growth, gradually flattened out with the establishment of stable collective bargaining, and slowly fell as the strike proceeded to “wither away” in the prosperity of “advanced industrial society”.
