This article explores the economics of religion with a specific focus on divergent effects of religiosity on people’s financial satisfaction. There is ever-growing literature on the sociology of religion-life satisfaction nexus but there is still dearth of research on how religiosity may affect citizens’ outlook toward their economic affluence and finances. We argue that religiosity has to be understood under two major vantage points, through which it can affect financial satisfaction. Specifically, we maintain that social, community-related religiosity and individual, devoutness-related religiosity have distinctly pivotal and empirically quadratic effects on people’s financial satisfaction. This finding is illuminating to understand how social dynamics may shape people’s stance and outlook toward their subjective financial well-being and how this may have repercussions at the individual and societal levels. We test our arguments in light of the global World Values Survey data via a multi-level estimation framework.

An Analysis of neoliberal sociality in the particular case of bitcoin
Göksaran, Efe Can; Mücen, Barış; Department of Sociology (2017)
This thesis analyzes the texts of Bitcoin as a particular case for Neoliberal discourse as it is developed by Austrian School of Economics. Fundamental concepts of the Austrian School of Economics are based on individual liberty. This liberty considered to be possible only in the absence of the state in their theories. This absence defined in terms of states’ non-interference to market. The texts of Bitcoin follow a similar trail of thought and conceptualize freedom on the basis of individual liberty versus...
