| Summary: | "Why doesn't the church say more about what Christians should do at a time of economic crisis? Perhaps, it may be retorted, because the issues involved in the situation are complex, and many church leaders do not feel that they have the necessary knowledge and experience. But the church is more than its leaders, and here an economist, who is a Christian, offers more detailed discussion and explanation than has so far been available. He begins by asking whether there can be a particular Christian economic and social philosophy, and then goes on to examine the main economic issues of our time: inflation, fair shares within the nation, fair shares internationally, growth and environment and economic organization and participation. In the final chapter, the author attempts to draw specific conclusions about an effective Christian approach to the economic order, and gives his own personal view." - Publisher |
