Abstract

Despite the resurgence of academic interest on Edmund Burke’s economic ideas, there seems to be room for further research on how his economic ideas were connected to his political and religious thought. Here the purpose is to examine how Anglicanism and Aristotelianism informed Burke’s economics. Through his tract Thoughts and Details on Scarcity, it is attempted to answer what role Christian charity played in his thought and how Burke’s concept of Aristotelian justice informed his economic ideas. Overall, the goal is to provide for a case study on connecting economic to political and religious thought in the 18th-century.
