A great overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
If you are familiar with Noble's thesis this is a great overview of the influence of religion (in particular Christianity) over history, with emphasis on the religious roots of Capitalism, free markets, and technology. If you want to learn more about the topic, earlier books by the same author may be more appropriate. The final chapters on Bakunin, Nietzsche, and Sartre (among others) make interesting points and a good reading.
