A chat with Jeanet Bentzen about pre-reformation roots of the protestant ethic

GrowthChat is a podcast on the social and cultural journey of humankind, hosted by Marco Lecci and Sascha O. Becker. In this episode we chat with Jeanet Bentzen about her paper​ "Pre-reformation roots of the protestant ethic”. Jeanet uses an earlier example, of the Cistercian Catholic Order, to show that religious values did influence productivity and economic performance in England and across Europe. The effect of this historic influence has persisted to today.  Paper link: DOI:  https://doi.org/10.1111/ecoj.12367Learn more about Jeanet: https://web2.econ.ku.dk/bentzen/Follow Jeanet Bentzen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JeanetBentzenFollow Growth Chat on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Growth_Chat
