About
Jose Larrea Gayarre is a critical scholar whose work interrogates the intersection of theology, political economy, and social justice in Latin America. His primary research areas include Liberation Theology, neoliberal economic critique, and the socio-political dynamics of revolutionary movements. Gayarre’s most influential contribution, “The Challenges of Liberation Theology to Neoliberal Economic Policies” (1994), examines how Latin America’s extreme social inequalities have fueled both revolutionary movements and a theological current that directly opposes capitalist systems. By framing Liberation Theology as a sustained moral and intellectual challenge to neoliberalism, Gayarre provided a foundational analysis that continues to resonate in debates on religion and economic justice. Though his citation count (5) reflects a niche but dedicated readership, his work is notable for its prescient critique of market fundamentalism from a faith-based perspective. Gayarre’s scholarship remains a vital reference for researchers exploring the ethical dimensions of development, the role of religion in political resistance, and the historical tensions between theology and neoliberal policy in the Global South.
