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!
