Carles Comas Giralt has a degree in Philosophy and Theology, and a PhD in Economics from the University of Barcelona. He has been a lecturer at ESADE since it opened in 1959, where his courses have included Economy and History of Socioeconomic Thinking. He also taught Economy and Development at the Central American University in Managua for ten years, where he holds an honorary doctorate, and was a director and researcher at the Interdisciplinary Science Institute of Barcelona from 1973 to 1983. Comas has published numerous essays and articles about the clash between economic rationality and mythical thinking, including Estudio político-sociológico sobre la conveniencia del socialismo en un país económicamente avanzado; Aspiraciones socialistas y economía desarrollada; La muerte de los mitos y de las ideologías: ¿Qué hacer?, and Mito y fe cristiana. Spanning many years of teaching and containing particularly pertinent social and political analysis, this book on power, economy and values is perhaps his most in-depth and far-reaching work to date.
