Wpływ protestantyzmu na rozwój ekonomii i gospodarowanie. Analiza dokumentów źródłowych z XVI wieku i XVII wieku
Jaśkowiak, Jan (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2021)
Religion is an important determinant in the perspective of social development. It is also an important factor influencing economic institutions. Especially in the business and management spheres by influencing the introduction of cultural and ethical codes. This article examines the primary documents of the various strands of Protestantism from the 16th and 17th centuries. These include works by Martin Luther, among others, but also official denominational documents, such as declarations of faith by Calvinism, the Presbyterian Church, Congregationalism, and Baptism, among others. Detailed examination and analysis has made it possible to reach conclusions that economic and economic changes were not at the root of the teaching of the various branches of Protestantism. This teaching was exclusively focused on the relationship with God. However, it should be noted that, indirectly, the teaching coming from Protestantism paved the way for the evolution of social thought in the perspective of economy and financial management.
