The book "God and the Free Market. Religions and Economics" is a collection of essays that shed new light on the relationship between religion and economics. The authors analyze how different denominations have influenced the development of market ideas and how these ideas have evolved over the centuries. Benedikt Koehler, the editor of the publication, recalls that even the first Christians combined the concept of private property with the duty to care for the poor, creating solutions different from the practices of pagan Rome. This shows that religion has always had an influence on shaping economic rules.

This book is not only an analysis of the religious sources of market ideas, but also a reminder that reflection on economics has always been part of a broader reflection on culture, morality, and faith. Adam Smith and his predecessors understood this perfectly - and that is why their works continue to inspire today. "God and the Free Market" is a proposal for those who want to think outside the box and look at religious and economic freedom as two complementary dimensions of the same story about man. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, religion, and their mutual influence on society.
