Review:
--Gordon Tullock, University Professor of Law and Economics, George Mason University
--William F. Shughart II, F.A.P. Barnard Distinguished Professor of Economics and holder of the Robert M. Hearin Chair, University of Mississippi
" This book will be interesting and informative, both for atheists like myself and for religious believers, regardless of their denomination." --Gordon Tullock, University Professor of Law and Economics, George Mason University
" Ekelund, Hé bert, and Tollison have written a lucid, cutting-edge treatment of religion and economics. An accessible book for students in a variety of disciplines and for readers with a wide range of interests." --Robert Barro and Rachel McCleary, Harvard University
" Consistently insightful and provocative, "The Marketplace of Christianity" demonstrates the catholicity of the economic model of rational human behavior by applying it to the consumers and suppliers of religious beliefs. Illuminating the history of the Church and the evolution of its central doctrines from the Reformation to modern times, Ekelund, Hé bert, and Tollison make an original and important contribution to the literature of the social sciences, one that is accessible to economists and noneconomists alike." --William F. Shughart II, F.A.P. Barnard Distinguished Professor of Economics and holder of the Robert M. Hearin Chair, University of Mississippi
