Interview with Professor Paul Seabright on religion and the divine economy

In this episode, Matthew talks to Professor Paul Seabright about his book 'The divine economy' and how religions operate as successful businesses in order to make profit and demonstrate power. Paul explains why we must carefully consider the question of secularisation, how religions can gain power in both positive and negative ways and how the story of one young girls tells us a lot about the impact religion can have on an individual.
