ABSTRACT Finance may suffer from institutional deformations that subordinate its distinctive goods to the pursuit of external goods, but this should encourage attempts to reform the institutionalization of finance rather than to reject its potential for virtuous business activity. This article argues that finance should be regarded as a domain-relative practice (Beabout 2012; MacIntyre 2007). Alongside management, its moral status thereby varies with the purposes it serves. Hence, when practitioners working in finance facilitate projects that create common goods, it allows them to develop virtues. This argument applies MacIntyre’s widely acknowledged account of the relationship between practices and the development of virtues while questioning some of his claims about finance. It also takes issue with extant accounts of particular financial functions that have failed to identify the distinctive goods of financial practice.

金融可以成为一种美德吗？麦金太尔账户

摘要 金融可能会受到制度变形的影响，使其独特的商品从属于对外部商品的追求，但这应该鼓励改革金融制度化的尝试，而不是拒绝其潜在的良性商业活动。本文认为，金融应被视为与领域相关的实践（Beabout 2012；MacIntyre 2007）。与管理一起，其道德地位因此随着其服务的目的而变化。因此，当从事金融工作的从业者促进创造共同利益的项目时，他们就可以培养美德。这一论点应用了麦金太尔对实践与美德发展之间关系的广泛认可，同时质疑了他对金融的一些主张。
