This note calls attention to Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), a prominent 20th century intellectual, well known for his contributions as theologian, but whose reflection and writings also covered economics. Two volumes of his more than twenty Collected works present the main lines of his comprehensive economic vision, including a critical discussion on the prevailing economic ideologies at the eve and inception of the second world war, and the need not only for a deep change of the objectives of economic policies, but also for a deep rethinking of the purpose of economics as a social discipline

Abstract
This note calls attention to Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), a prominent 20th century intellectual, well known for his contributions as theologian, but whose reflection and writings also covered economics. Two volumes of his more than twenty Collected works present the main lines of his comprehensive economic vision, including a critical discussion on the prevailing economic ideologies at the eve and inception of the second world war, and the need not only for a deep change of the objectives of economic policies, but also for a deep rethinking of the purpose of economics as a social discipline
