Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Most people think that free-market ideas and theories were first substanially developed in the eighteenth century by figures such as Adam Smith. In this revised edition of Faith and Liberty, Alejandro A. Chafuen illustrates this misconception by examining the sixteenth and seventeenth century writings of a group of Catholic theologians and philosophers, known as the Late-Scholastics. In this revised ediiton, Chafuen blosters his case by including recent and pertinent material which gives rise to new questions and concerns.

5.0 out of 5 stars La Roche, January 9, 2009
The book reveals a good in depth knowledge of the thought of the late scholastics coupled with a good understanding of economics (without which the economic thought of these past thinkers would not make sense). Hence a very informative book. Perheaps the author could have liaised a bit more with the current economic thoughts. A recommended reading for those who think present economic issues comes only from the modern economic developpement. Proves also that, to discuss of the moral issues raised by economics one must have (as the late scholastics tried to attain in their time - contrary many of our todays moral thinker who despise economics) a good understanding of economic processes.

By Eric Hollas (Madison, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This book uncovers an earlier view of economics than Adam Smith, which is not only Austrian, but finds free-market policies compatible with a moral and religous tradition. It's remarkable how modern the thought is of these mid 17th century thinkers...
