Religious and economists: The moral economy of the School of Salamanca
Vol. 14 No. Extra-1 (2022)This is a special issue dedicated to the School of Salamanca, or rather (and as is proven by the contributions in this issue), the Spanish School of Moral Economy (EEE). It turns out that, due to the black legend (Hispanophobic, Roca, 2016. Sánchez-Bayón, 2012 and 2013), especially in its latest editions (the anti-Francoist and Spanish regionalist one, plus the Latin American indigenist and decolonial one), it has been renounced and erased any Spanish heritage, especially if it was as brilliant as EEE's. This school was a benchmark of modern thought, a guide to globalization at that time and present throughout the known world (at least in its network of universities, Sánchez-Bayón, 2010 and 2015): it favored the transit of traditional or pure theology ( on the attributes of God), to the modern or political (on the political organization of the people of God); from iusromanism to the new law of nations and/or International Law; from natural to positive iushumanism (via the statutory common law of the Indies), etc. In this issue of JSTR, attention is paid to his lesser-known and yet key contribution to understanding the positive economy that has developed since the end of the 20th century. XVIII: EEE systematizes a novel moral economy, by synthesizing Aristotelian realism and scholastic nominalism, thanks to the practical legal approach (iuscanonic), thus establishing economic-financial principles applicable to families, businessmen and governments, in addition to inspiring future monetary schools and banking; it also helps to alert against the cyclical economic maladjustment of inflation (either due to an excess of precious metals and a generalized and sustained rise in prices, the bastardization of the currency or credit expansions without savings); without forgetting his precursor theories of value, prices, interest and exchange rates, etc.

Extraordinary number: Clothing, Rite and Religion: Popular Religiosity as an element of cultural and socioeconomic reproduction
Vol. 10 No. 2 (2020)Rite and folklore are an integral part of religious practice. Popular celebration, religion and clothing are fundamental pieces of "the way people see themselves." In this argumentative line, beyond that image progressively blurred by the unifying effect of globalization, through folklore and popular attire, they constitute a whole framework of analysis to understand the values, customs and meanings of each culture. However, despite what one might believe, and perhaps as a reaction to this globalizing effect, it is surprising the permanence, revitalization and vindication that peoples and regions do during the last decades, of their own traditional elements, such as dance, traditional festivals, and above all, the costume. Despite being parallel to an intense secularization of daily life

Negociands en los países islámicos
Vol. 9 (2020)El llamado "mundo islámico", sin dudas, es un tema de interés general, y de relevancia especial para España; desde una perspectiva económica única, como ejemplo, los diez años después de la crisis de 2008, se ha visto una contribución positiva significative de la duplicación de exportaciones a este entorno, exportaciones que representan hoy en día a 10% del volumen total de empresas españolas. Este logro, uno relevante, encabeza fuera de siglos de relaciones privilegiadas.
En una visión más general, estamos viendo una convergencia entre intereses económicos y todo tipo de relaciones (petróleo y gas, grandes proyectos de inversión internacional, el influencia creciente del eje China / India / países árabes / África ...) y tensiones de Todo tipo en todas las dimensiones.
