Charles North on Religion, Economic Development, and Rule of Law (Encore Presentation)
While we are still on a short sabbatical, please enjoy this popular “blast from the past.” Prof. Charles North discusses his research linking religion to the rule of law and economic development. We survey the literature on religion and economic growth, and then chat about North’s findings wherein Protestantism, Catholicism, and Hinduism were statistically linked to higher support for “rule of law” and lower levels of corruption. We discuss some of the potential causal reasons for this connection, which takes us back to medieval Europe and the rise of canon law. [ READ THE FULL ARTICLE ] Joseph Castleberry on the New Pilgrims
