The Christian Economy of the Early Medieval West: Towards a Temple Society examines the chronology of the Church's acquisition of wealth, and particularly of landed property, as well as the distribution of its income, in the period between the conversion of Constantine and the eighth century.In this book, the society that emerged as a result of the Church's acquisition of land is interpreted in the light of the anthropological model of the "Temple Society," a concept developed from Karl Marx's so-called "Asiatic Mode of Production." The emergence of a socio-economic system dominated by the Church is presented as a crucial development in the history of western Europe. 517 $aChristian Economy of the Early Medieval West 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600 606 $aEconomics$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aChurch history 615 0$aEconomics$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a270.1 700 $aWood$b Ian N.$0629495 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910580299403321 996 $aChristian Economy of the Early Medieval West$93095739 997 $aUNINA
