Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of socialist theories during the Middle Ages. The author argues that socialism, as an economic theory, emerged from specific historical and social conditions that differed from the present, but finds parallels between medieval and contemporary theories. Socialism in this context is defined as the transfer of ownership of land and capital from private to public hands. The author traces its historical roots to the Christian condemnation of greed, through the work of early Christian writers who argued that property and power were sinful and led to social strife. Through an examination of Church Fathers and legalists of the day, this book argues that notions of private property were both pragmatic and religious: safeguarding society through practical measures, and promoted as reflective of a holy life. Feudalism is also discussed as a form of social organization that contributed to the emergence of medieval socialist theories, as it did not recognize absolute dominion of land. The author posits that resistance to these established social structures manifested in the form of communism and other social theories. This book provides a comprehensive and nuanced examination of the development of socialist ideas in the medieval period, highlighting the social, political, and religious catalysts that shaped them, and demonstrating that they were not simply modern concepts retroactively applied to an earlier era.
