Economics as Religion by Robert H Nelson
Nelson argues that economics can be a genuine form of religion. This edition of Economics as Religion situates the influence of his work in the scholarly economic and theological conversations of today and reflects on the potential implications for theology, economics and other social sciences.“The best recent study of the subject”
—Samuel Brittan Financial Times
“Robert Nelson’s Economics as Religion offers a unique set of insights into the social role of the economics profession. . . . The book should be assigned reading for undergraduates in intermediate microeconomics and first-year graduate students in economics.”
—Jennifer Roback Journal of Markets and Morality
“Robert Nelson has written what may be the most important recent book on the future of the economics profession.”
—Andrew Morriss Books and Culture
“An economic theorist himself, Nelson elegantly exposes his firm understanding of the history of economic theory. . . . He is in fact perfectly at ease venturing into theological and religious history, persuasively establishing parallels between the economic and religious realms.”
—Aren E. Annus Nova Religio: The Journal of Alternative and Emergent Religions
Robert H. Nelson is Professor in the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland.
