Sommario/riassunto

In Franciscan Wealth, Giacomo Todeschini provides a critical and objective study of Franciscan economic theory. As promoters of a rigorous and evangelical poverty, the Franciscans were paradoxically led to investigate all forms of the economic life between that of extreme poverty and that of excessive wealth, distinguishing carefully between property and temporary possession the use of economic goods.
