Abstract

The economic life of modern Russia poses a number of pressing issues, among which the problem of creating morality in society and in economy, which is the foundation of sustainable, full-fledged, effective development of any state, becomes particularly important. The relevance of this issue is exacerbated by the problems that we have seen in Russia in recent decades. They ate the high level of economic crime and economic exploitation resulting from greed and selfishness of some business representatives, sometimes with the help of government officials; widespread corruption; the growth of the shadow economy; the fall of moral foundations, the decline in education, health, science, culture. An immoral society leads to an inefficient economy. Economic morality is at the heart of many human virtues, one of which is financial literacy.
