Religions are not just spiritual organisations—they are also powerful economic players, competing for wealth, influence, and followers. This session examines the economic side of religion, from how faiths accumulate wealth to the way they wield economic power to influence societies and politics. How do religions manage their finances, and what role does economic competition play in their survival and expansion? If you’ve ever wondered how economics shapes the world’s great religions, this event offers a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look.
