Résumé : |
Exploring different aspects of the current economic system and proposing alternatives, 14 leading Christian economists, theologians, ethicists and sociologists grapple with the failures of our financial system to tackle inequality, poverty and ecological destruction. The papers presented here were produced by the members of the World Council of Churches’ Advisory Group on Economic Matters. They analyze the recent global financial collapse and its roots in a system which fosters structural greed. From economic analysis to biblical and ethical reflection, the papers provide individuals, students and groups in religious and non-religious settings a solid basis to learn, discuss and act to support solutions that favour justice, not greed. |
