Pierre Januard: Thomas Aquinas on Risk in Economic Activity, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book provides a detailed look at Thomas Aquinas's view and understanding of economic activity. The work of Aquinas, one of the greatest thinkers of the Middle Ages, is contextualised within his own experiences, the history of the era, and the socio-economic changes underway in 13th-century Europe. Particular attention is paid to Aquinas's approach to risk, mapping out the different forms of risk he addresses, establishing typologies, and presenting it as a dynamic structure.

This book offers unique insight into the economic work of Thomas Aquinas. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought, economic analysis of risk, medieval studies, philosophy, and theology.
