Michael Jonas is a senior researcher in the Sociology department of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna (Austria). Following a praxeological perspective, he is currently researching social inequality, injustice and unsustainability in world society. Using the enactment of the so-called Fairtrade market in Austria as empirical research field, for instance, he is presently looking at whether this phenomena might be interpreted as part of a moralization of economic markets or as example of an (ongoing) economic colonialisation of morals. In doing so, Jonas seeks to combine a wide range of approaches from various disciplines like sociology, philosophy, economic sciences, political sciences and geography.
