Inhaltsangabe

According to this provocative critique of globalization, modern economics has become dehumanized and no longer serves the needs of society. Bringing together their expertise, an economist and a theologian reintroduce what has been lacking in the processes of economics and globalization: a moral and spiritual context. Fundamental issues covered include equity and efficiency, production and consumption, economic and spiritual well-being, economic growth and social justice, free and fair trade, and profit maximization and sustainability. Written in a clear, engaging style for both the general reader and the academic, this daring work demonstrates how the most timely issues of economics can be understood by anyone.
