R. H. Tawney
2 Bücher
- You get a sharp, morally serious account of how Puritan ideas, changing attitudes toward usury, and the growth of commerce reshape English society. It’s dense in places, but Tawney keeps asking a question that still bites: what happens when economic success starts looking like evidence of virtue?
- Fair warning, it's a 1920 economics tract, not a story, but Tawney writes like a moralist with a dry wit, and his case that property should earn its keep through actual service still stings. Good if you like arguments that make modern headlines feel a century old.
