FamilistMember of the Family of Love religious sect. It was founded by a 16th-century Dutch merchant, Hendrik Niclaes, whose goal was to end religious wrangling and unite all “lovers of truth” in one great Christian fellowship of peace. His largest following was in England, where his works were privately published. Elizabeth I issued a proclamation against the Family of Love in 1580. The sect died out after the restoration of the English monarchy in 1660; some of its members may have joined the Society of Friends. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The South often appears the most familistic, with southerners being more positive about marriage and less positive about divorce and nonmarital childbearing (Trent & South, 1992). Reordering is legitimated through an appeal to a higher religious court, and carried through in familistic or quasi-familistic arrangements. By way of contrast, low-trust, familistic societies and cultures are said to confront higher transaction costs that impede the formation of such organizations. |
