Pietismus und konomie (1650-1750)

The epoch between 1650 and 1750 in Europe is characterized by the emergence of new economic methods and markets and largely parallel to the emergence of new piety cultures within and beyond the established denominational churches. At the same time, questions have only been asked rarely and only partially about the connections and interactions between pietism and economics. The articles in this volume address pietistic economic ideas in the context of contemporary economic discourses, concepts and practice of economic activity in Halle Pietism, in the Moravian and radical Pietist communities and in various fields of economic activity (trade, silk making, newspapers, printing, orphanages, fundraising, etc.) . In addition, questions are asked about economies in dealing with time, friendship, comedy and affects.
