This book examines how the beliefs and practices of each of the
major world religions, as well as other belief systems, affect the
variables that influence growth and development in the Global
South. Evidence suggests that as countries develop, the influence
of religion on all aspects of society declines. In stark contrast
to the developed world, in the Global South, the role of religion
is highly pervasive - the distinctive conclusion of this book is
therefore that a lessening of religiosity is a sine qua non for
growth and development, including secular laws and constitutions.
Offering a ground-breaking study in an area little explored in the
English language, this book will satisfy an important gap in the
literature on the political economy of development, sociology of
religion, law, and anthropology.
