Moral Philosophy or Economic Analysis? The Oxford Handbook of Adam Smith
Theology and the Rise of Political Economy in Britain in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
In the eighteenth century, and for much of the nineteenth, Britain was a Christian society. In such a society, ideas are inevitably conceived within a theological matrix; and to be generally acceptable they must be consonant with prevailing theological orthodoxy. In eighteenth-century England and Scotland, there is hardly a trace of any dissonance between economic thought and Christian theology. But at the very end of that century there appeared …
Adam Smith and Malthus on high wages
For Adam Smith, capital accumulation was necessary and sufficient for high wages. But for Malthus it is not necessary because if workers choose to delay marriage the equilibrium real wage will rise even if the economy will be stationary; it is not sufficient because land scarcity causes wages and profits to fall with accumulation in the absence of technical progress. The first qualification signals a post-Revolutionary recognition that the lower …

The Changing Theological Context of Economic Analysis since the Eighteenth Century
Economic analysis (as we understand the term today) first appeared in France at the end of the seventeenth century as a consequence of Jansenist theodicy. Throughout the eighteenth century, political economy (the study of wealth, and not to be confused with economic analysis) was supposed to be compatible with Christian belief and of service to Newtonian natural theology. This changed suddenly in 1798. Thomas Robert Malthus's first Essay inaugura…
New Light on Malthus: The Kanto Gakuen Collection
“Bob” Malthus, the Revd T. Robert Malthus (1766–1834), had only one son, Henry (“Hal”) who like his father became a clergyman and married, but died childless in 1882. Malthus's older brother “Syd,” Sydenham II (1754–1821), inherited the family property in Albury, Surrey on the death of their father Daniel in 1800, and transmitted it to three more generations of descendents: Sydenham III (1806–1868), Sydenham IV (1831–1916), and the last Robert (1…

In what sense, if any, is “economics” distinct from “religion”; And why does it matter
It matters whether "Economics" is distinct from "Religion" first, because the putative truths of Religion must be more secure than the provisional and fallible truths of Science; secondly, because the scientific claims of Economics would be undermined were they not independent of the religious beliefs of economists; and thirdly, because the contribution of each to public policy formation requires them to be distinct

Revolution, Economics and Religion: Christian Political Economy, 1798–1833
Malthus's Essay on Population was seen in 1798 as a complete refutation of Godwin and all 'Jacobin' ideology. It proved that a state of equality and justice for all was unfeasible; and it demonstrated the inevitability and beneficence of private property and political institutions. But its central theme, the dominance of scarcity in human affairs, presented the theological 'problem of evil' in novel and threatening form. For thirty-five years bot…
A Cambridge ‘Via Media’ in Late Georgian Anglicanism
Significant exceptions to the pervasive latitudinarianism of the Georgian Church have lately been found in the domain of public worship. With respect to theology however the traditional view canonised by Sir Leslie Stephen (‘Oxford was then at the very nadir of intellectual activity’: at Cambridge ‘the intellectual party of the Church was Socinian in all but name’) remains undisturbed. It is my object in this article to reappraise the performance…

The Ideological Alliance of Political Economy and Christian Theology, 1798–1833
It has been maintained by E. R.

The theologians have always managed to reinterpret their sources in ways which have somehow made their version of Christianity correspond almost exactly to the values of their class and generation.

The author recognises that both in theory and in practice economists require a simplified 'model' of economic psychology, and that this cannot be realistic…
