Author Description

Excerpt from Christianity and Economic Science This volume contains the substance of a course of five Lectures which I delivered last October, at the London School Of Economics, on the Inuence of Religious Conceptions upon the Historical Develop ment of Economic Doctrines and Theories. I have been conscious throughout Of my indebtedness to the erudite and suggestive work Of dr.troeltsch, entitled Die Soziallehren def Kitchen and grumen. For the present I have endeavoured to concentrate attention on the history of Thought, but I hope to supplement the discussion at another time by dealing with the part played by Christianity in helping to form the modern conception Of Social Duty.
