Religious freedom has become an emblematic value in the West.
Embedded in constitutions and championed by politicians and
thinkers across the political spectrum, it is to many an absolute
value, something beyond question. Yet how it emerged, and why,
remains widely misunderstood. Tracing the history of religious
persecution from the Fall of Rome to the present-day, Noel D.
Johnson and Mark Koyama provide a novel explanation of the birth of
religious liberty. This book treats the subject in an integrative
way by combining economic reasoning with historical evidence from
medieval and early modern Europe. The authors elucidate the
economic and political incentives that shaped the actions of
political leaders during periods of state building and economic
growth.
