"The Economics of Religion" explores the new paradigms of
"religious economics" and "economies of religion" under the scope
of transdisciplinary and international perspectives. It examines
and appraises some of the recent theoretical developments and
methodological innovations in religious and social sciences. This
volume offers the chance to extend the analysis of religious
behaviours by means of conceptual and methodological models of
economics. It goes far beyond the classical "economy and religion"
debate, and suggests not only theoretical but also epistemological
changes in the study of religion: individual rationality and
rational choice, market theory, demand and supply theory, branding
and commodification of religion, believers' "consumer" habits,
churches' competitive strategies, for example. Of course, these are
not exempt from criticism, which this volume also addresses. These
detailed and localized case-studies range from experimental to
ethnographic methods, psychological to cultural aspects of
believing and practising cults in the scope of economics of
religion. Geographical areas covered include Nigeria, Bolivia,
Italy, Mexico, France, Korea, Nepal and Tonga.
