Résumé

In this article we shall lay down the parameters within which the practice of the virtues may be enabled in the field of finance, drawing from two main sources, Aristotle and MacIntyre. We shall respond to the question of what ought to be done for financial activities to truly contribute to eudaimonia or human flourishing (Aristotle), and how three distinct kinds of goods, those internal to practices, those of an individual life and those of the community (MacIntyre) can be achieved.
