Religion and the Rise of Inequality -- Chapter 7. Religion and Hierarchies of Dominance -- Chapter 8. Religion and Charity -- Chapter 9. Religion and Economic Performance -- Chapter 10. Religion and Historical Divergences in Economic Performance -- Chapter 11. Concluding Remarks. . This book allows the reader to have an overview of the relations between religion and economics throughout history. It starts with the beginnings of early modern humans, when dreams (of dead ancestors), animism, synchronous movements and a propensity to exchange, led to the emergence of religion, which then contributed to the coordination and pooling of labor and to the definition of groups. This book surveys the various roles played by religion in economic life through the ages, which include the justification of the exploitation of nature, the expansion of trade, the emergence of inequality and of charity, the definition, enhancement and attenuation of hierarchies of dominance, the provision of various services and of the impact religion has had on economic performance at the micro and macro levels. |
