Beskrivning
Through an analysis of Christian communities in the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica, this book analyzes how religious groups talk about the politics surrounding economic life. Amy Reynolds examines how these Christian organizations speak about trade and the economy as moral and value-laden spaces, deserving ethical reflection and requiring political action. She reveals the ways in which religious communities have asked people to engage in new approaches to thinking about the market and how they have worked to create alternative networks and policies governing economic and social life.

Recensioner i media

'This rigorously researched book provides wonderful insights for anyone who cares about the intersection of faith and the economy. Over recent decades, the free trade movement has galvanized the attention of millions, and finally we have a careful analysis that examines this topic from multiple angles. This book should be read not only by the academic community, but also by practitioners in the field. Indeed, I heartily recommend it to anyone who cares about advancing the common good.' D. Michael Lindsay, President, Gordon College, Massachusetts
