Dotan Leshem recasts the history of the West from an economic
perspective, bringing politics, philosophy, and the economy closer
together and revealing the significant role of Christian theology
in shaping economic and political thought. He begins with early
Christian treatment of economic knowledge and the effect of this
interaction on ancient politics and philosophy. He then follows the
secularization of the economy in liberal and neoliberal theory.
Leshem draws on Hannah Arendt's history of politics and Michel
Foucault's genealogy of economy and philosophy. He consults
exegetical and apologetic tracts, homilies and eulogies, manuals
and correspondence, and Church canons and creeds to trace the
influence of the economy on Christian orthodoxy. Only by relocating
the origins of modernity in Late Antiquity, Leshem argues, can we
confront the full effect of the neoliberal marketized economy on
contemporary societies. Then, he proposes, a new political
philosophy that re-secularizes the economy will take shape and
transform the human condition.
