How has institutionalization of religion influenced the prosperity of countries in Europe and the Americas? This open access book addresses these critical questions by elucidating the hegemonic and emancipatory religious factors leading to these dissimilarities between countries. The book features up-to-date mixed methods from interdisciplinary research contributing to existing studies in the sociology of religion field by demonstrating—for the first time—the effect of the mutually reinforcing configuration of multiple prosperity triggers (religion–politics–environment). It demonstrates the differences in the institutionalization of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism by applying quantitative and qualitative methods and by performing a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of 65 countries. The author also provides a comprehensive survey and results of empirical research on different theories of development, focusing on the influence of religion. 2021-12-13T18:56:13Z 2021-12-13T18:56:13Z 2022 book ONIX_20211213_9783030784980_47 9783030784980 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/51977 eng Contributions to Economics application/pdf n/a 978-3-030-78498-0.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-030-78498-0 Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-030-78498-0 10.1007/978-3-030-78498-0 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 07f61e34-5b96-49f0-9860-c87dd8228f26 9783030784980 Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) Springer International Publishing 407 Bern [grantnumber unknown] Schweizerischer Nationalfonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung Swiss National Science Foundation open access
