This is a very thorough but readable synopsis of Calvin's thought as it relates to the world of money and markets. It is organized so that it connects theological concepts with practical realities and Biblical morality, and includes not just commerce but philanthropy and service as well.
Although good, biblically-derived economic thinking didn't originate with John Calvin (the under-appreciated Spanish Scholastics deserve an honored place in the pantheon of free-market heroes, though sadly they had little effect on the dominant economic understandings and attitudes of the Catholic Church of their own day), his influence spread such good thinking more widely and rapidly than had ever previously occurred. It can be argued that the religious "competition" he set in motion also provided intellectual competition for the dominant economic and political structures that served to improve the lives of those who did not ultimately embrace his theology.
A great book from the Calvin 500 series of books that touches on all the areas that Calvin wrote about in his Institutes and commentaries/sermons. Calvin changed the way people viewed wealth in and around Geneva.
