Reassessing the Moral Economy: Religion and Economic Ethics from Ancient Greece to the 20th Century: Palgrave Studies in Economic History

Editat de Tanja Skambraks, Martin Lutz
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 oct 2023
This book examines the concept of moral economy originally established by E.P. Thompson, focusing on the impact of religious norms on economic practice. With each chapter discussing a different empirical case study, the interrelations of the economy and religion are explored from antiquity through to the 20th century. The long-term trajectory and comparative perspective allows for moral economy to be seen in relation to ancient Greek commerce, medieval pawn-broking, Christian and Jewish economic ethics, urban social politics during the Plague, the Jesuit mission in Paraguay, the Ottoman Empire, religion in modern American capitalism, and Catholic attitudes toward taxation.
This book aims to provide insight into how moral thinking about the economy and economic practicehas evolved from a long historic perspective. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in economic history and cultural economics.
