Originally published in Italian in 2004, Todeschini’s studies highlight the relationship between the development of the Franciscan movement and medieval economic thinking and practice. While not the “first economists,” the early Franciscans approached the marketplace out of their rigorous Christian religiosity and showed clearly the necessary connection between morality and business.
