Why are historical Catholic countries and regions generally more corrupt and less competitive than historical Protestant territories? How has the institutionalisation of religion influenced the prosperity of countries in Europe and the Americas? “Ye shall know them by their fruits” 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 interdisciplinary research contributing to existing studies in the sociology of religion
field by demonstrating the effect of the mutually reinforcing configuration of multiple prosperity triggers (religion, politics, and environment) for the first time.
It demonstrates the differences in the institutionalisation of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism by applying quantitative and qualitative methods and by performing a Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in 65 countries. This monograph provides a comprehensive survey and empirical research of different theories of development, focusing on the influence of religion.
