Abstract

Ethics, philosophy and science have allowed humanity to solve the most complex challenges throughout its history. Human dignity is the ultimate goal of a civilization, both the Renaissance and the Enlightenment synthesize the best of science and thought. For science and human dignity came nuclear energy, genetics, digitalization, neuroscience and cognitive computing, which today move human civilization towards the fourth industrial revolution. In human dignity, it is imperative to recognize the authentic legacy of Adam Smith. His greatest critics have not read his theory of moral sentiment, and his greatest defenders discredit that Smith was first and foremost a humanist, then an economist. The most seasoned managers will embrace a capitalism committed to human dignity, without complexes. This essay links capitalism and technology, to extol privacy and decent work.
