12 Preface This book searches for the origins of modern thinking, identified in one of the best- known stories of our cultural heritage. I reconstruct the Paradise story through a new approach to biblical interpretation: institutional and constitutional economics. The book traces in the Paradise story, in economic terms, a looming contest: on the one hand, the rise of homo economicus, escalating principal agent conflicts, and the emergence of a prisoner s dilemma predicament; and on the other, the political and economic ideals of liberty and freedom. I contest suggestions that the old, conceptual dualism between economics and theology/philosophy should be upheld. In the book, economics, in the tradition of the Scottish Enlightenment, is interpreted as modern ethics ; and the book reconstructs such ethics for the Paradise story, drawing in particular on concepts of institutional and constitutional economics. As a result, the claimed dualism between ancient ethics and modern economics as ethics is rejected. The book pioneers a complementary new unitary thesis for the Paradise story and for the Old Testament: that economics can provide a unified, conceptual, scientific structure to the biblical text. On this basis, not only is the Paradise story illuminated through economic reconstruction but also a new, institutional economic theory of (Old Testament- based) religion is proposed. It is part of an ongoing research project on the institutional and constitutional economic reconstruction of the Old Testament. In this respect, it sets out theses and questions for future research, and discusses conceptual ways in which such theses can be investigated. May 2014 SIGMUND A. WAGNER- TSUKAMOTO xiii
