It raises a number of questions based on the Aristotelian idea of the mean, the balance and harmony underlying justice, as applied by medieval thinkers to the changing economy. How could private ownership of property be reconciled with God's gift of the earth to all in common? How could charity balance resources between rich and poor? What was money? What were the just price and the just wage? How was a balance to be achieved between lender and borrower and how did the idea of usury change to reflect this? The answers emerge from a wide variety of ecclesiastical and secular sources. 410 0$aCambridge medieval textbooks. 606 $aEconomics$xHistory$yTo 1800 606 $aAristotle 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory 615 0$aAristotle. 676 $a330.15/12 700 $aWood$b Diana$f1940-$0312261 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450019403321 996 $aMedieval economic Thought$988153 997 $aUNINA
