Abstract

Este escrito constituye una lectura económica de la obra de Thomas Hobbes, dirigida a entender conductas morales como resultado de equilibrios de mercado. Partiendo de una economía de intercambio donde el precio de los bienes obedece a su costo de oportunidad, se muestra usando Teoría de Juegos el surgimiento de conductas morales en un escenario anterior a la formación del Estado. Cuando el Estado ha sido consolidado dejan de ser posibles los comportamientos estratégicos y surge la posibilidad de competencia perfecta. La Teoría del Equilibrio General adquiere entonces valor para entender la presencia de conductas morales en el estado civil hobbesiano. El resultado es que independientemente de la presencia o ausencia del Estado, las conductas morales en Hobbes constituyen equilibrios de mercado motivados por el deseo individual de comerciar. KEY Classification-JEL: B10. B13.
