Abstract
Subverting Carl Schmitt’s thesis on secularisation, Agamben identifies the oikonomia/economy as the agent that governs the Christian conception of community, history and eternal life. In this gesture, Agamben questions the nature of political action by interweaving two great traditions, Christianity and communism, interested in human emancipation and linked in their contradictions. Beyond the reconstruction of Agamben’s query I will indicate the possible answers through the interpretation of other related texts from these two traditions of thought.
