Kritik der mythischen Ökonomie

»Critique of the Mythical Economy« The concept of myth pervades economic theory and practice. Not only are mythical images used to explain the contingent nature of crises, but mythical symbolism also plays a major role in the very creation of economic theory. Uncovering such layers of mythical aspects in economics is the first step towards rethinking economics and society as a whole. The appreciation of man as a mythical entity will lead to a more profound understanding of an economic sociality within an ever-changing world.
