Abstract
In this research project, I will be presenting a review of the economics of medieval Christian monastic communities. I will examine the religious background and lived experience of economic practices in monasteries, and will compare and contrast those concepts to modern-day economic systems. I will also discuss the role that faith, religion, and worship play in providing a common structure and foundation to the monastic economy.
