Economics has evolved from two distinct origins, one from ethics and the other from engineering. Ethics-based economics is concerned with understanding the economy's impact on society, while engineering-based economics aims to develop mathematical models and tools to analyze and solve economic problems. The connection between Economics and Ethics has been discussed since the time of Adam Smith. Thomas Malthus (the inaugural Professor of Political Economy in England), followed the tradition of Adam Smith and regarded Economics as a moral Science. However, later on Classical Economists (David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill) considered Moral Science a backward science and incorporated more Mathematics in Economics. Following them, Neo Classical and Modern Economists (William Stanley Jevons, Alfred Marshall etc) gave more emphasis on Econometrics in Economics and separated Ethics completely from Economics and made it Economics Science. At the close of the nineteenth century, there was censure of the detachment of Economics from Ethics, due in part to a rise in corporate scandals. However, many prominent economists of the twentieth century, such as Amartya Sen, Keynes, Boulding, Young, and Temple Smith, worked to restore Economics as a Moral Science by integrating ethical considerations into economic theory and practice, with the goal of promoting sustainable development for society.
