In this important volume, Joost Hengstmengel examines the doctrine
of divine providence and how it served as explanation and
justification in economic debates in the sixteenth, seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries throughout Western Europe. The author
discusses five different areas in which God was associated with the
economy: international trade, division of labour, value and price,
self-interest, and poverty and inequality. Ultimately, it is shown
that theological ideas continued to influence economic thought
beyond the Medieval period, and that the science of economics as we
know it today has theological origins. Interdisciplinary in nature,
this book will be of interest to advanced students and researchers
in the history of economic thought, the history of theology,
philosophy and intellectual history.
