According to Kevin Roose in a New York Magazine article, Brat “sees free-market economics as being intricately linked to ethics and faith and he makes the case that Adam Smith’s invisible hand theory, should be seen in the context of Christianity”. Furthering the central theme of Max Weber’s seminal book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, Brat argues in his 2004 paper Economic Growth and Institutions: The Rise and Fall of the Protestant Ethic? that “institutions such as religion, democracy and government anti-diversion policies all significantly enhance a country’s long-run economic performance,” and concludes that “the religion variable may be the strongest ex ante, exogenous institutional variable in the literature.”

Brat graduated with an B.A. in business administration at Hope College in 1986, an advanced diploma in religious studies in the field of divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1990 and earned a Ph.D. in the field of economics, from American University in 1995.
