Biel, Gabriel

Biel, Gabriel
(c. 1420–95)
   Philosopher and Economist.
   Biel was born in Speyer, Germany. He joined the Brethren of the Common Life and from 1485 he held the Chair of Theology at the new University of Tübingen. His nominalist philosophy was influenced by the views of william of ockham and was expressed in works such as his Epitome and an exposition on the Canon of the Mass. However, he is chiefly remembered for his economic theories. He argued that the just price of an article depended on economic rather than theological considerations – a view which laid the foundations for modern capitalism.
