Auteur : Filip Birsen
Birsen Filip holds a Ph.D. in philosophy and master’s degrees in economics and philosophy. She has published numerous articles and chapters on the topics of political philosophy, geo-politics, and the history of economic thought.
Provides a critique of the concept of freedom and the role of the state that prevailed in the views of Friedman and Hayek, as well as those of some of their counterparts from mainstream economics, including Becker, Buchanan, Stigler, and Knight
Analyzes the relationship between the state, economic freedom, and individual freedom in the work of neo-liberal economists, primarily Friedman and Hayek
Claims that the neo-liberal concept of freedom and the notion that economics is a value-free science played significant roles in limiting state actions designed to achieve the common good
Argues that the neo-liberal concept of freedom, a limited state role in the achievement of the common good, methodological monism in economics, and the acceptance of economics as a value-free science significantly contributed to many of the serious problems facing the environment and contemporary society
Demonstrates that an investigation of the history of economic thought, as well as the origins of certain philosophical concepts, would reveal that current efforts to attain sustainable development and integrate ethical values into economics are not novel ideas
