Recensioner i media

“Hole’s study is ambitious, with chapters on the origins and doctrines of economic ethics, the translation of these ideas into the life of the laity, economic ethics in great literary works of the period, economic law (including case studies of economic injustice), the ethical and unethical actions of landowners, and the understanding of economic ethics among individuals as gleaned from their personal correspondence. … This is a fine contribution to the history of economic thought.” (Journal of Markets & Morality, Vol. 20 (2), 2017)
