Twilight of the Money Gods – Economics as a Religion and How it all Went Wrong by John Rapley

The book is written for the non-economist in a colloquial and amusing style. He analyses the irrational elements of economics as the religious ideologies of a pseudo-science.

Rapley describes the hubris and nemesis of the profession, concluding with the debacle of , the Great Economic Crisis, which only a handful of apostates saw coming — nor could the high priests of neoclassical economics, with their panglossian economic theory of equilibrium, explain why it occurred.

According to Rapley these repeated crises in economics are the result of its pretension to being a science. Rapley first examines the origins and role of religion. In his account of various theories to explain why humans adopted religions he gives only a desultory nod to what is probably the most interesting explanation, that of anthropologists: Just as the Catholic Church in Europe determined the culture of Europe, so has economic theory since the advent of capitalism.

How secular and scientific is economics really, or is it simply a profession of faith in the service of financial interests? The historical narrative begins with the Reformation and works its way forward. Both men were members of the burgeoning middle class. Smith was an academic; Ricardo, of Jewish origin, was from a banking family.

Both were champions of the rising capitalist middle class, providing rational arguments to end the economic and political domination of Britain by the landed aristocracy. While its prophets—from Adam Smith to John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman—concerned themselves with the human condition, its priesthood gradually grew remote from its followers, until it lost sight of their tribulations.

Today, amid a crisis of faith in their expertise, we must re-imagine the topic of economics for a new era—one filled with both danger and opportunity. John Rapley has made a vocation of working, and living, at the intersection where theory meets practice.
