The Divine Economy by Paul Seabright
A novel economic interpretation of how religions have become so powerful in the modern world
"Winner of the Bronze Medal in Business Commentary, Axiom Business Book Awards"
"Seabright has produced an engaging and insightful book, which I found myself pondering long after I had read the last page"---Jane Shaw, Financial Times
"Enlightening." * The Economist *
"[A]n insightful and enjoyable read. [Seabright’s] platform view makes for a fresh look at religious organizations. I suspect that all scholars of religion economics will find the book equally insightful. For those less familiar with the economics of religion, the book is also an easy-to-read launchpad to the field. . . it will enthuse broad-minded social scientists as well. Finally, since the book addresses ‘big questions’ in an accessible and engaging style, it will also be of interest to nonspecialists."---Sascha O. Becker, Journal of Economic Literature
