Moving beyond the impersonal operations of an economy to its ethical dimension, Hole?s socio-cultural study considers not only the ideas and beliefs of theologians and philosophers, but how these influenced assumptions and preoccupations about material concerns in late medieval English society. Beginning with late medieval English writings on economic ethics and its origins, the author illuminates a society which, although strictly hierarchical and unequal, nevertheless fostered expectations that all its members should avoid greed and excess consumption. Throughout, Hole aims to show that economic ethics had a broader application than trade and usury in late medieval England. 410 0$aArchival Insights into the Evolution of Economics,$x2662-6195 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aPublic Administration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 676 $a330.1509 700 $aHole$b Jennifer$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0989723 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254892703321 996 $aEconomic Ethics in Late Medieval England, 1300?1500$92263597 997 $aUNINA
