Description: GOOD CONDITION This sale is for a vintage edition entitled “Religion and the Rise of Capitalism,” by Professor R. H. Tawney, with a prefatory note by Dr. Charles Gore. It was published by Penguin Books, of Harmondsworth, Middlesex, in 1975 and is one of their wonderful vintage “Pelican Books”. A study of religious thought on social issues during the three centuries from the later middle ages to the early eighteenth century. Starting with an account of medieval theories of social ethics, it goes on to examine the impact on traditional doctrines of the new forces released by the economic and political changes of the age of the Reformation. The social backgrounds and teaching of Luther, Calvin, and the English divines from Latimer to Laud, receive attention in turn. A chapter on the Puritan Movement discusses among other topics, the theory that Capitalism had Puritanism as one of its parents. Turning to the practical realities of history, Professor Tawney explains the conditions which gave point to prohibitions of usury and to the insistence on just price; describes the social consequences of the Tudor land question; and touches on the impetus to economic speculation given by price-revolution, the expansion of foreign commerce, and the growth of the money-market.
