Protestant Economic Principles and Practices

Abstract: Abstract During the sixteenth century the Renaissance had rediscovered the fruitfulness of antiquity, from which humanity’s resilience and responsibility were reshaped. Following the Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation began. Protestantism was both a belief system and a strategy for liberation from extortion and oppression, an exodus comparable to that of Moses and the Hebrews who had fled from the fleshpots of Egypt.
