Sumario:In the last decade of his career before his untimely death, António Almodovar’s research was very much dominated by an interest in catholic economic thought, apparently an unexpected development in his career. However, it fitted his broader approach to the history of economics, which presented a strong emphasis on the dissemination of economic ideas as in his previous work on the institutionalization of political economy or in the parliamentary debates or in textbooks. His interest in the overlap between religious and economic thought also corresponded to a reflection about the boundaries of economic thought and their evolution.
