Economics and Theology: The Fundamental Common Problem

Warren Samuels

Chapter 17 in Essays on the Methodology and Discourse of Economics, 1992, pp 292-297 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Economics has at least one problem in common with theological metaphysics, a situation which suggests, but does not prove, that economic reasoning tends necessarily to make assumptions comparable to those made by theology and therefore has an inexorable metaphysical character.
