本文从人类学的角度探讨了“道德经济”的概念，并选择了它的多层次使用。它肯定了这一概念适用于掌握特定阶级的道德价值观和对经济的考虑，以及普遍化的道德框架，通过这些框架，被统治阶级和统治阶级通常处理经济问题。在处理这种普遍化的道德经济时，建议我们的分析应该批判地处理经济作为一个本质上道德的过程的象征性建构。这种关注的价值在于分析和历史化认识论的反复出现，这些认识论否认资本主义结构性对立的中心地位，而是强调道德范畴，例如公平性、意向性和义务。这种对道德经济概念的多层次理解和运用，有助于我们进一步理解新自由主义在欧洲空间的界定和危机中资本主义政治经济学的道德重构。这篇文章是基于民族志材料解决希腊技术官僚采取的行动，专门在欧盟的政策和凝聚力基金。
This article engages in the ongoing anthropological discussion on the concept of ‘moral economy’ and opts for its multileveled use. It affirms the concept’s suitability for grasping class-specific sets of moral values and considerations on the economy, as well as universalized moral frameworks through which the economy is commonly addressed by both dominated and dominant classes. In dealing with such universalized moral economies, it is suggested that our analysis should critically address the symbolic construction of the economy as an essentially moral process. The value of such a focus lies in analyzing and historicizing the recurrence of epistemologies that deny the centrality of structural oppositions in capitalism and, rather, place emphasis on moral categories, such as fairness, intentionality, and obligation. This multileveled understanding and use of the concept of moral economy can help us to further comprehend the delineation of neoliberalism in European space and the moral reformulation of the political economy of capitalism-in-crisis. The article is based on ethnographic material addressing the course of action taken by Greek technocrats specialized in the policies and cohesion funds of the European Union.
