"The Idea of a Moral Economy is the first modern edition and English translation of
three questions disputed at the University of Paris in 1330 by the theologian Gerard
of Siena. The questions represent the most influential late medieval formulation of
the natural law argument against usury and the illicit acquisition of property. Together
they offer a particularly clear example of scholastic ideas about the nature and purpose
of economic activity and the medieval concept of a moral economy. In his introduction,
editor Lawrin Armstrong discusses Gerard's arguments and considers their significance
both within the context of scholastic philosophy and law and as a critique of contemporary
mainstream economics. His analysis demonstrates how Gerard's work is not only a valuable
source for understanding economic thought in pre-modern Europe, but also a fertile
resource for scholars of law, economics, and philosophy in medieval Europe and beyond."
