MUNOZ CARDONA, Ángel Emilio. The sympathy principal as fundament for the ethics of economic and social union. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.28, pp.111-119. ISSN 0120-6346.

The hypothesis that tries to be proven from a classic economy conception is how the sympathy category becomes a cosmopolitan principal of solidarity union. In order to demonstrate this hypothesis, an observation of the last international events that involve sympathy and solidarity unions in between different citizens around the world under certain economic, social and political conditions is used. Observation that will be proven with the famous writings of the classic economy philosophers, Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill who stated that justice and liberty are possible only if thought in societies that share the common feeling of sympathy. It is from this statement that the spread of solidarity and empathy is the main principal concerning moral value in the construction of social universal links, which are the primary conditions for achieving a wellbeing, a distributive justice, economic progress and general happiness.

Keywords : Sympathy; international solidarity union; globalization; commercial reliability and safety.
