According to the conventional view of economics, the discipline is a product of the Enlightenment and therefore has no connection to religious ideas. But is this really the case? In this book, Benjamin Friedman demonstrates that religious thought was, in fact, a powerful force shaping the emergence of modern Western economics and has continued to influence it ever since. Friedman argues that a significant factor in the insights of Adam Smith and his contemporaries was the new and highly controversial currents of religious thought that emerged at that time in the English-speaking Protestant world.
Friedman explains that the influence of religion on modern economic thought at the discipline's inception had consequences that persisted throughout subsequent centuries, even as the economic context shifted and, with it, the questions economists asked.
