520 |a "Faith in Markets demonstrates how religiously motivated choices shaped market activity, as well as the market itself, through the creation of Christian Business Enterprises (CBEs) in the early decades of nineteenth-century America. Slaughter focuses on the ways theologically conservative Protestants infused their businesses with faith and in turn, how these businesses shaped American capitalism and culture. Three CBEs of the American early national period form the core of Faith in Markets: George Rapp & Associates (the Harmony Society of Western Pennsylvania/Southern Indiana), the Pioneer Stage Coach Line (upstate New York), and Harper & Brothers (New York City). These businesses reflect the most influential Christian theologies of early America: Pietism, Calvinism, and Arminianism. Each of the manuscript's three parts is built around one of these cases. Part I focuses on how Lutheran Pietists attempted to purify the market, and in so doing provided an alternate vision of communal capitalism. Part II explores how evangelical Presbyterians strove to reform the market, not through legislation or volunteerism, but through business enterprise. Finally, part III examines how urban Methodists produced cultural objects (books!) that nudged American culture toward a middle-class, Victorian ideal, all while building a business that others regarded as the model of trustworthiness in a new era of anonymous market exchange"--
