The Theology of Economics

Duncan Foley

Challenge, 2006, vol. 49, issue 6, 103-112

Abstract: Is mainstream economics failing the original purposes of the classical economists like Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill? Duncan Foley has written a new history of economic thought for the layman, called Adam's Fallacy, which argues that it is. Can following one's self interest truly lead to a good society? Foley says it is not an adequate guide to how we should live.
