With its specific challenges, 19th century Catholicism could become a breeding ground for economic liberal ideas. This is the conclusion reached by Alina Potempa, who shows how Catholics in Enlightenment and ultramontane contexts received Adam Smith’s economics. In their advocacy of liberal principles, economic knowledge was mixed with a religious argument on the social relevance of Catholicism.
