Values and financial markets
Values and financial markets

Summary/Abstract: This article shows that values play an important role in financial markets, determining the motives and investment decisions of economic actors in these markets. What is important, these values are not only economic values, but also other types of values, including hedonic, vital, moral, political, and even aesthetic values. In the light of the above, i.e. the fact that capital markets are saturated with values in their irreducible multiplicity and diversity, it is a little surprising that there are hardly any works that draw attention to it, i.e. that they directly and intentionally show that investors in their motives and investment choices are guided by very different values. This text fills this gap, while pointing to the need for more in-depth research into the relationship between financial markets and values, and in particular the relationship between the latter and investment motives and choices of investors on capital markets.
