The author offers a thorough analysis of the politico-legal component of capitalism and arrives at the conclusion that its foundations are based on the legal, moral, ethical values and political concepts of Western Christianity. It was liberal ideologists who borrowed the ideas about the so-called «sacred» role of monies and denial of the nation-state concept from this world picture where the ‘common law’ played the central role. The author juxtaposes this ideological matrix of the ideocratic state concept tabled by Russian Eurasian philosophers (on the one hand) and the doctrine set forth by the neoliberal law experts at the beginning of the XX century with their idea of «a welfare state» (on the other hand).
