Incorporating a stunning array of ideas, insights, and
interpretations, this remarkable study by Arthur Penty focuses on 2,000 years of socio-economic
trends.
With an attractive and accessible style, important factors and moments
of development are highlighted - including the role of the Church beyond its
spiritual contributions, the introduction of money, the revival of Roman Law,
the birth of Capitalism during the mediaeval period, and the Industrial
Revolution.
Tracing the development and decline of the application of Christian
morality to economics, this thorough examination offers a candid historical
assessment of the pitfalls of modern society.
