Value, Justice, and Presumption in the Late Scholastic Controversy over Price Regulation 
Some late scholastics, prominently Luis de Molina (1535–1600), adhered to the view that, under all circumstances, the just price is defined by the price range that can be obtained under fair market conditions— i . e., under conditions that are free from deception, fraud, and menace. Even in situations of scarcity, he held, the prince can define legal prices only within the range of the fair market price, since any price outside this range would cause an injustice to the owners of the good concerned. However, a diverging line of thought can be found in Luis Mexía, who published a monograph on the topic in 1569, and Melchor de Soria, who took up the topic in 1627. These thinkers developed theories of price regulation in order to analyze the demands of justice in situations where markets cease to function—be it through natural conditions, wars or artificially induced shortages in supply. In order to do this, they used a version of the labor-and-cost analysis of value found in the Tübingen-based jurist Conrad Summenhart (1455 – 1502). The just cause that has to be expressed in price laws, in their view, depends on this alternative source of value and leads to demands of commutative and distributive justice that diverge from the demands of justice connected with the fair market conception of value. Also, Mexía and Soria offer detailed considerations concerning the circumstances under which a presumption in favor of the justice of price laws can be formed rationally and thereby offer some fascinating insights into the reasons why such rationally formed presumptions could render price law morally binding in spite of the uncertainty of their outcomes.
