This multilayered account offers a fresh take on an old topic, arguing that greed was experienced as a moral phenomenon and deployed to make sense of an unjust world. Focusing specifically on the interrelated themes of religion, economics, and health—each of which sought to study and channel the power of financial desire—Jared Poley shows how evolving ideas about greed became formative elements of the modern experience.Spektrum (New York, N.Y.) ;Volume 11.AvariceHistoryAvariceHistory.330.9402NW 2850DE-24/20sredrvkPoley Jared1970-1559469MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798317303321The devil's riches3824607UNINA
