Jonathan JT Reilly(Canada--Conference Assistant) |
| Mr. Reilly is currently a second year student at the
University of British Columbia in the faculty of Law. Prior to embarking on his
legal education, he experimented with employment in a crown corporation which, after four
years of being under-utilized, he left to pursue a Masters degree relating theological and
economic ideas. In his Master's thesis he had the temerity to suggest that Max Weber
attributed to the Puritans and their theology a capitalistic neurosis which rightly
belonged to their successors, people who had deviated from the living link between
theology and economic life, thus demonstrating Weber's own lack of understanding of the
Puritans and their way of life. Mr. Reilly further suggested that without Puritan
theology to impose conscience on individual actors, capitalism is no more moral than any
other economic system and may in fact be even more rapacious and cruel than any other
system. In addition to being Conference Assistant and studying law, Mr. Reilly is the Senior Editor of the University of British Columbia Law Review and coaches ice hockey at the Midget level for the Vancouver Thunderbirds Minor Hockey Association. For the last two years, Mr. Reilly has had the distinct pleasure of being Assistant to the Nemetz Professor of Legal History, Professor W. Wesley Pue. |
