Abstract
AbstractWith the publication of Joseph Schumpeter’s History of Economic Analysis, it became clear that the disdain expressed by many economists for scholastic economics was inappropriate and that the scholastics had a significant influence initially on Grotius and Pufendorf, and consequently also Adam Smith. Even before Schumpeter, Joseph Höffner had referred to the dependence of the philosophers of natural law on the Spanish late scholastics in the context of the law of nations. He also made important contributions to the rediscovery of the economics of the late scholastics. This chapter provides an overview of Höffner’s work and shows connecting lines between the scholastics and Grotius and Pufendorf.KeywordsHöffnerMolinaScholasticSchool of SalamancaNatural lawJust priceHistory of economic thoughtJEL CodesA12B11B31
