“…As early as 1215 the Mayor of London had been selected to join the Council of Twenty Five Barons to monitor the King's adherence to the terms of Magna Carta; from 1306 Mayors of London were routinely knighted; and after 1354 they were known as Lords Mayor of London. The temporal and commercial elites in England have indeed long been intertwined, which is compatible with McCloskey's argument (2006; 2010; 2016) that episodes of economic growth are associated with respect for bourgeois values 9…”

The English economy during the sixteenth century was increasingly captured by monopolists, with dire consequences in aggregate. Yet, though many Members of Parliament owned patents of monopoly, on 20 November 1601 the House of Commons agreed, with no voices raised in opposition, to void all such patents. That collective decision helped shift the English economy from a non‐cooperative to a cooperative game, and thus from non‐competition to competition, so taking a key prefatory step towards the English Industrial Revolution.

“…Markets were seen as the forces of modernisation even before the ‘triumph of capitalism’ (Hirschman, 1977). The ‘bourgeois mentality’ that includes respect for markets (McCloskey, 2017) can be seen as one of the forces that created the modern world. This is not to suggest that religiosity is hostile to markets, but that the religious attitude to markets is shaped by interpretation.…”

Why is the West unique in linking religiosity to market friendliness?

The Integrated Values Survey shows that the positive relationship between religiosity and market friendliness is a uniquely Western feature. With the help of public choice theory, the author hypothesises that this Western uniqueness is the result of the way the dimensions of political ideologies are formed in the West. The hypothesis is supported by regressing an index of market friendliness on a religiosity index, political identity, and a measure of 'ideological capital'. Accounting for the latter two, the positive association of religiosity with market friendliness vanishes, even in the West.
