Beschreibung

This book revisits the legacy of one of the protagonists in the history of economic thought: Leonardus Lessius (1554-1623). In a time marked as much by fierce debates on grace and free will as by doubts about the legitimacy of the first global economy, Lessius offers a glimpse into the interconnectedness between 'meritocratic' ideas on spiritual salvation and material prosperity.
