This is the second lecture of our new course, prepared jointly with @VEB.RF. How does religion influence the economic success of a nation? Why did small religious communities — the Old Believers in Russia or the Copts in Egypt — develop better and faster than the majority of the country's population? What economic advantages do Orthodoxy, Islam and Buddhism have? Doctor of Economics Alexander Auzan talks about how religion can help an economic miracle — or hinder it! *** Arzamas is an educational project about the history of culture https://arzamas.academy/.
