Short but serious answer: Can a nation print its way to prosperity? Since paper currency is a social abstraction, the relationship between the amount of paper money in circulation and the health of the economy is a very lively topic in the world today.
So yes, there is much philosophy underlying our money. You know that Greenspan was a follower of Ayn Rand in his early days. In fact he even believed in the gold standard, before he took the reigns of monetary power and started printing.
Ironic, no?
I would say yes to this. Issues of corporate citizenship and how companies should operate in there respective communities can be regarded as a issue of ethics in a certain way.
It is interesting to note that a company is not a natural person it is a legal person. This means that it is given certain rights that a natural person would also have. So with this in mind if we give an entity certain "human rights" it may not be unreasonable to expect of it a certain "ethics" in regards to its behavior as well.
I would consider the whole of Marxism to lie within the philosophy of finance. It falls awkwardly between ethics and politics, and is anchored deeply in accounting principles, given the Labor Theory of Value. So I see no reason that theory and its contenders would not eventually become their own field.
The idea that it naturally constitutes a separate field of philosophy may explain why different schools of philosophy are often quite chilly toward it -- it is 'neither fish nor fowl' in their reckoning.
