The Economics of Providence / L’économie de la providence Management, Finances and Patrimony of Religious Orders and Congregations in Europe, 1773 – ca. 1930 Maarten Van Dijck, Jan De Maeyer, Jeffrey Tyssens, Jimmy Koppen (eds)
The wealth and patrimony of religious institutes During the French Revolution almost all monasteries and abbeys were suppressed and their possessions seized. Yet after the French Revolution many religious institutes were very successful in re-establishing them selves, sometimes accumulating large patrimonies, against the background of often hostile political forces. This book deals with the question of how the religious orders and congre gations rebuilt their patrimony, a necessary prerequisite for the growth of the number of religious, educational and charitable services. The authors discuss the (real or supposed) wealth, the financial structures, and the management and juridical foundations of the orders and congre gations in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Ireland, and the United Kingdom from the late eighteenth century to the 1930s.
