Utopia As Religion: A Proposal For Advance The Austrian Criticism Of The Yearnings Of Socialist Scatology.
MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics. 2017 Dec. 9;5(1):147-65.
The article draws attention to the fact that political thought often manifests itself as a substitute for religion: metanarratives of a demystified telos for history. It discusses how socialism has progressively dispossessed the religious eschatology of its sphere of activity and has brought it to the common history. This posture led to the belief that, in the future, any political act will transform what once was absurd into something logical and what was disharmonious into something harmonic. Based on this, the article criticizes the utopian system and its nature of religious hope, using and advancing the Austrian proto-criticism.
Contact Points Between the Austrian School and Biblical Christianity in the Debate Concerning Fair Prices.
MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics. 2016 Jun. 1;4(1):43-68.
The subject of fair prices is addressed by the tradition of Christian thought and by the axiological approaches provided by the Austrian School of Economics. Through the presentation and discussion of the biblical perspective regarding fair prices, as well as through reflexions by prominent authors of scholastic economic thought and the Austrian School of Economics, I address and analyze the contact points between the Austrian School and biblical Christianity about the subject.
