Publisher: Oxford University Press| ISBN: 0195394755 | edition 2010 | PDF | 257 pages | 1,86 mb
Two centuries after Adam Smith illuminated the workings of the marketplace, a new movement among economists and social scientists is expanding his insights into a groundbreaking "economics of religion." Using cutting edge ideas from the behavioral sciences, and a deep knowledge of religious history, this new approach is making sense not only of past beliefs, but of religion today.
