The panel discussion which took place after my lecture. Participants were Mathias Dewatripont (BNB-ULB), Jean Bellemans (Vesalius), Thierry Philipponnat (Finance Watch) and Guy Roelandt (Belfius Ins). The moderator was Steven Rombaut, from vrt, the Flemish Belgian radio and television.

The panel discussion topic was the same as that of the lecture of the day by myself: “Law, Ethics and the business world”. The participants from left to right were: Geert Noels (Econopolis), Ivan Van de Cloot (Itinera), Marc Beaujean (P&V) and Benoît Frydman (ULB). The moderator was Steven Rombaut (vrt).
Unfortunately due to the camera angle, Benoît Frydman was hardly visible when he spoke and me… not at all!

When in the Autumn of 2011 I was first approached by Michel Flamée on behalf of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel about the chair I’m privileged to speak from today, the question of how it would ultimately be called was still undecided. The Flemish phrase used in the early discussions was “ethisch financieren”: financing in an ethical manner.
“Ethical finance”, “responsible finance”, “sustainable finance”, so many different phrases have been used to name chairs…
My first book, Les pêcheurs d’Houat, adapted from my anthropology Ph.D. thesis, had been out of print for many many years. Éditions du croquant have been kind enough to offer a reprint. Monique Woodward has translated here my foreword for the 2012 edition.
