Abstract
as a value-free science. On the contrary, Keynes seems to argue that economics should be
considered a moral science. This paper intends to prove a) a possible compatibility at the
epistemological level and b) an agreement even at the ethical level. For these reasons, this
paper is structured in two parts: 1) The first part examines the two ‘competing’ models in
order to argue that a) the Mengerian model does not entail hostility against the ethical evaluation
on economics and b) the Keynesian model does not mean that theoretical economics
should be considered as epistemologically dependent upon a given system of moral precepts.
2) The second part intends to highlight that the epistemological agreement is linked to a similar
standpoint in ethics: the common rejection of the love of money.
