Freedom as the Call of Being: Restoring the Foundations of Ethical Enterprise

Jim Wishloff

Abstract


This article confronts ideological thinking in the realm of political economy by exposing the centuries-old imprudence of abandoning authentic philosophical inquiry. The way forward beyond socialism and capitalism requires that the true meaning of freedom be reappropriated as the basis of all economic activity. Being calls us to loving fellowship with God and to the use of our gifts in service of the common good. Enterprise is a vocation to love. The good of others is to be willed in what is produced, in how it is made, and in the process by which it is exchanged.

Jim Wishloff, "Freedom as the Call of Being: Restoring the Foundations of Ethical Enterprise", Journal of Markets and Morality 16, no. 1 (Spring 2013): 113-133
