Abstract
This chapter concludes that restoring both professional authority and the integrity of finance in Anglo-American society depends crucially on the ideas and values underlying efforts to defend mammon. An overt stress on macro-level ethical issues is limited when liberal values and ideas continue to implicate professionals in ongoing volatilities. Tensions between financial professionals and the financial sector as a whole are likely to persist until more profound cognitive and normative changes integrate a wider range of alternative values and ideas. Besides summarising the central arguments of the book, this chapter elaborates avenues for future research on professional authority as well as on ethics in Anglo-American finance and other crisis-prone areas of contemporary activity.
