Abstract

El pensamiento económico de Calvino es poco explorado en relación con las dimensiones histórica, filosófica y política, siendo quizás la tesis de Weber (1905) la más conocida. Algunas investigaciones teológicas recientes en base a nuevas traducciones postulan que su acción en Ginebra, al defender la libertad de mercado, la propiedad, el trabajo libre y su especialización, permiten el paso a la economía de mercado. Al extenderse por los países del norte europeo, especialmente en Escocia e Inglaterra, cuna del liberalismo económico, desde el siglo XVI el calvinismo se convierte en una forma independiente de pensar, un sistema de vida que trasciende la interpretación confesional, sectaria y dogmática. Por ello resulta interesante analizar científicamente las ideas subyacentes en esa forma de pensar porque, siendo el marco cognitivo dominante de su pensamiento el mismo que el de los escolásticos y los Padres de la Iglesia, la teología, Calvino, mediante una lógica estricta, una mente cartesiana, se aleja de aquellos al analizar los mecanismos económicos. Este trabajo se inscribe dentro del nuevo campo interdisciplinario de la economía y la religión profundizando las cuestiones intelectuales que están en juego en el encuentro de la teología cristiana y la economía.
