Not All Religious People Struggle With Economics!

I enjoyed very much reading this article by Jeffrey Tucker. Pondering questions of significance and importance can never be thought of as unbecoming of the Mises blog.

Part of the fascination for me in the article was the glimpses into the logic of a well-trained Austrian economist and also seeing the expression of what is considered to be the higher values, to the author. The way it was weaved together and unfolded serves as a good example for all of us. Ours is the task to solve difficult problems using logic, appealing to reason, and earning the trust of those who we are guiding to the unparalleled beauty of laissez-faire, or may I say even more accurately - the divine economy.

Prejudice Does The Same Thing As Interventionism.

Religious prejudice rears its ugly head most often in two ways among Austrian economists. First of all, I am not saying that there are not Austrian economists who do not have religious prejudices.

Wertfrei is a convenient curtain to hide behind. It has been mistakenly used to justify atheism. The methodology of atheism is passed off as 'scientific.' The individuals who approach economic science in this manner have one type of religious prejudice - contempt for all religions.

The other religious prejudice is not regarded as part of economic science even though some may even lean in that direction since religious history is intertwined with economic history. It is really just a specific type of ethnocentricity, passed off as a necessary part of a religious conviction. Not all adherents of religion are locked into an ethnocentric viewpoint but many are and those individuals who are exhibit religious prejudice.

Prejudice of all kinds interferes with the flow of information in society and in human civilization. In that regard it acts in much the same way as interventionism!

The Bad Fruits Of Economics And Religion.

Those who criticize Islam forget that ego-driven interpretation is a destructive force just like ego-driven interventionism is a destructive force. Why are there not the good fruits of Islam prominent everywhere is the same question as "Why are there not the good fruits of laissez-faire prominent everywhere?"

So just as economists who know that the gems of laissez-faire can be discovered despite ego-driven interventionism so too can they also find the gems of Islam despite the destructiveness of ego-driven interpretation.

Of course if the exploration is preceded by indoctrination in neoclassical positivism or Keynesian nonsense then it may be well nigh impossible for that economist to discover the merits of laissez-faire. Likewise if the economist who tries to explore the merits of Islam begins under the indoctrination that has been foisted upon most of us by the ego-driven interpretations of the opponents of Islam then that pursuit will end in rejection also.

One of the great similarities between religion and economics is that both have been attacked and perverted by the ego-driven. Our job it to understand this and not to be fooled by these foolish ones.

How Can The Oppressed Find Ethical Government?

It is probably true that the regions of the world which have little philosophical connection to the Western civilization will not be able to readily adopt the principles of classical liberalism without another link to their culture. Religion is one such link.

And so religion will play a major role in the transition from these Dark Ages of economics to the bright future of a peaceful, prosperous, world culture and civilization composed of various classical liberalism societies. Divine economy theory is extremely helpful in this regard!
