Trabajar la competencia ética a partir de los ODS. Una aproximación “crítica” desde la política económica.

Abstract

The introduction of the ethical competence in economics degrees has become a challenge for the teaching staff. Specifying its content is not trivial. The SDGs set in 2015 by the UN are thought as the backbone of this very competence, albeit with a debatable approach: often such competence is taught as if they were a sole universally and right "ethics". In this paper we analyse the SDGs using the analytical framework provided by the discipline of Economic Policy. In such analysis we identify a series of lacks, limitations, contradictions,... that lead us to posit that the SDGs should be used as a resource for the thinking of and the debate on ethical issues, without turning them into dogmas of faith.
