The newest edition of the Journal of Markets & Morality is now available
online and in print (www.marketsandmorality.com).

 

This issue of the Journal features a new scholia. "Selections from the
Dicaeologicae" is an original English translation of several key
chapters of Johannes Althusius' Dicaeologicae, the ground-breaking
seventeenth-century work that systematized current civil law, Roman law,
and Jewish law into one collective and cohesive legal system. Althusius
was a key player in the development of political science as a
disciplinary field of study and his Dicaeologicae was one of the first
examples of the emerging field in the seventeenth century.

 

The new issue also features a publicly available editorial by Stephen
Grabill. "The Fallacy of Adam's Fallacy" examines Duncan Foley's
best-selling Adam's Fallacy: A Guide to Economic Theology. Grabill
argues that Foley ignores the historical context of Adam Smith's Wealth
of Nations as well as his other relevant writings resulting in a poorly
documented attempt to discredit Smith.
