From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francisco Gómez Camacho (26 April 1939 – 5 February 2024) was a Spanish Jesuit priest and academic who was Professor of Economics at the Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid. He died on 5 February 2024, at the age of 84.[1]

Fields of research

[edit]

Gómez Camacho often lectured and published on late Scholastic economic thought. He published several articles about Luis de Molina, the sixteenth-century Jesuit known for liberal economic ethics and an emphasis on natural law. Even after retirement, Gómez Camacho continued to hold seminars.[2]

Plagiarism

[edit]

Three of Gómez Camacho's publications have been retracted due to plagiarism. In an article published in 2005, he copied "a number of direct, substantial, and nearly verbatim sections"[3] from Marjorie Grice-Hutchinson’s book, The School of Salamanca.[4]

A second incident involved a plagiarized book chapter, which the publisher Brill retracted, noting that it was necessary "because of serious citation problems (in some cases the original sources are not mentioned at all). It goes without saying that Brill strongly disapproves of such practices, which represent a serious breach of publication integrity."[5]

A chapter in another book, one published in 2007, addressing well-known historical figures such as Francisco de Vitoria and Domingo de Soto, has been cited in several discussions of scholastic economic thought. Because of plagiarism, the publisher Rowman and Littlefield suspended sales of the volume. It is nearly identical to the 2005 article retracted for plagiarizing Grice-Hutchinson.[6]
