The Middle Ages

New book from Tanja Skambraks: “Karitativer Kredit”

We are looking forward to the imminent publication of Tanja Skambraks book “Karitativer Kredit. Die Monti di Pietà, franziskanische Wirtschaftsethik und städtische Sozialpolitik in Italien (15. und 16. Jahrhundert)” by Franz Steiner Verlag.  The work is an inspiring study of the long duration of small loans for the working poor and the idea of a moral economy with high relevance for the present. Worth reading!
