Acting by faith to the test of the markets

Our society is too often described as entirely secularised. A world where the sacred and sacredness are alien to both legal and economic experience. This orientation is confirmed by the equations developed by general economic theory. They trace systems in which fideistic options are variables that have nothing to do with the market or consumption choices. Settings of this kind, however, overlook the fact that economic systems are human creations. Even of the latter, religion represents a matrix of meaning, a tool for evaluating the preferences of individuals. Acting by faith in this respect evades the boundary of transcendence and immateriality, and shows its most concrete 'soul' precisely within markets.
