Abstract
The article focuses on the limitations of scientism in economics, emphasizing that values are unavoidable and central to how societies function. Topics include the critique of economists like Hayek and Mill who reduce humans to self-interested machines, the Christian perspective on morality as integral to understanding reality, and the argument that economic theories must reflect the full complexity of human motivations rather than abstract efficiency models.
