The Humane Economist
Nobel laureate Friedrich Hayek once warned that 'the economist who is only an economist is likely to become a nuisance if not a positive danger.' As an economist and theorist of liberalism, Wilhelm R pke was acutely aware of this danger. His combined commitments to sound economic analysis, the importance of social institutions, and the moral and religious framework of the Christian tradition make him a unique figure in the history of economic and social thought.

In the text, symbols for light represented awareness, which is normally directed outward toward externals. The method of redirecting one's consciousness inward towards the self through a straightforward form of silent meditation and breathing was known as 'turning the light around.' Through this process of channeling energy beyond the limits of the discriminating intellect, one's psyche-indeed one's very fundamental being-can gradually open and bloom. This leads to a pure awakening of the mind and spirit. The result can be metaphorically pictured as a bright 'golden
