Beskrivning

An in-depth study and critique of global capitalism from a theological point of view, emphasising the Church's responsibility as a defender of economic justice.Magisterial in scope and scrupulous in its investigation and attribution of sources, Church and Ethical Responsibility in the Midst of World Economy will take its place as an important document that contributes much in terms of prophetic praxis - it challenges those who are comfortably complacent and unwilling to be disturbed.

Recensioner i media

Paul Chung's book, dedicated to Ulrich Duchrow, does not offer us a theological engagement with economics in the way, say, that Douglas Meeks did or Duchrow does, but rather a history of the ideas which got us where we are, and an account of the discussion surrounding them.
