Exploring the intertwined histories of capitalism and religion, R. H. Tawney delves into the Middle Ages to uncover how these two forces shaped one another. He refrains from using jargon, presenting a balanced analysis that highlights the impact of religious developments, particularly the Protestant Reformation, on economic systems. First published in 1926, Tawney's insights resonate today, providing a framework for understanding the complex relationship between social ethics and economic practices in contemporary society.
