The Morality of the Market and the Medieval Schoolmen

Politics, Philosophy & Economics, 2004, vol. 3, issue 2, 241-259

Abstract: Recently among analytic political philosophers there has been a considerable revival of interest in the normative evaluation of the market and of economic processes more generally. While not rejecting markets in toto , philosophers such as Elizabeth Anderson and Amartya Sen have raised questions about the proper range of the market, explored the role of normative considerations in economic decision-making and raised doubts about the view that normative constraints are never legitimately placed on economic activity. In this article I experience the relevance to such explorations of the economic casuistry of the medieval schoolmen.
