Murray, whose work on the evolution of the standard of living spanned multiple disciplines. Publishing extensively in the areas of the history of healthcare and health insurance, labor markets, religion, and family-related issues from education to orphanages, fertility, and marriage, Murray was much more than an economic historian and his influence can be felt across the wider scholarly community. Written by Murray?s academic collaborators, mentors, and mentees, this collection of essays covers topics such as the effect of the 1918 influenza pandemic on U.S. life insurance holdings, the relationship between rapid economic growth and type 2 diabetes, and the economics of the early church. This volume will be of use to scholars and students interested in economic history, cliometrics, labor economics, and American and European history, as well as the history of religion. 410 0$aStudies in Economic History,$x2364-1800 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aPopulation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aSocial history 606 $aChristianity 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aLabor and Population Economics 606 $aSocial History 606 $aChristianity 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aPopulation$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aChristianity. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aLabor and Population Economics. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aChristianity. 676 $a929.605 676 $a339.420973 702 $aGray$b Patrick 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595047503321 996 $aStandard of living$9454633 997 $aUNINA
