- Price controls and market economiesPublication . Alves, André Azevedo; Gregório, InêsGovernments usually adopt price controls to impose restrictions on the price of goods and services by employing the appealing argument that they are protecting the groups who find it difficult to meet increasing prices. Since ancient times, regulators have set maximum or minimum prices – price ceilings or price floors. A maximum price for bread was understood as a means to protect the poorest from starvation and the maximum price for house rents to protect them from becoming homeless. The minimum wage – the price floor for labor – was seen as a guarantee to prevent unskilled workers from falling below a minimum living standard.
- Scarcity, economics and morality: the contribution of the late Iberian scholasticsPublication . Alves, André Azevedo; Moreira, PedroWhile for many centuries Augustine and Christianity in general emphasized the provisional and hazardous character of earthly life, the Iberian scholastics of the Salamanca School were central actors in the development of a deeper, more positive, and arguably more affirmative outlook on worldly political and economic matters. In this paper, we attempt to show this transition through the evolution of the concept of ‘scarcity.’ Indeed, ‘scarcity’ is a central premise of positive modern economics but for many centuries this concept was used to high-light normative conclusions in the writings of medieval theologians. The Iberian scholastics were instrumental in a shift from normative to positive, trying to find better ways to cope with the material world and improve our earthly lives within an integrated philosophical and theological perspective. We will illustrate this through the study of Domingo de Soto, one of the Iberian scholastics.
- Uma singular escola ibérica: de Salamanca a Coimbra e ÉvoraPublication . Moreira, José Manuel; Alves, André AzevedoGarcia de Resende (1470-1536) na sua “Miscelânea” definiu o seu tempo como sendo de “novas novidades, grandes acontecimentos e desvairadas mudanças”. Um tempo de que os autores procuram dar conta a partir do contributo de mestres portugueses para a afirmação da Escola de Salamanca, acompanhando tanto os subtis jogos de poder e fé como as tensões e vicissitudes que ajudam a contextualizar e explicar a influência da epopeia lusa na criação de um universo aberto a mares e mundos que não eram seus.
