Description: The fair and equitable distribution of wealth and the
cultivation of proper attitudes toward material goods and economic
development concern all religious traditions alike. In so far as
the dynamics of the world market or the global economic system
transcend the competency and control of any particular religion,
dialogue between religions, as well as between religionists and
economists becomes both possible and necessary. This volume brings
together religious thinkers from various traditions as well as
economists to reflect on the possibilities and the challenges of
such dialogue. Endorsements: ""This book can't be more relevant
because of the subject and the perspective it gives. But more than
that, the occasion of its publication is more than opportune, at a
moment where economics is the great concern for the whole world and
threatens everyday life all around the globe. The relevant
contribution religions can bring to that is organized with
competence and creativity by Catherine Cornille and Glen Willis. It
is mandatory reading for those working with economics and also for
those who work with religious social thought of any confession and
tradition."" -Maria Clara Bingemer Professor of Systematic Theology
Catholic University of Riode Janeiro, Brazil ""At last a book in
which scholars of religion and economics reach beyond their
respective disciplines to address structural, political, and
personal ways to understand and surmount financial hardship at both
local and national levels. This collection of essays leads the way
for a multidisciplinary dialogue not only on questions of economic
development but also on the dangers of free market theism and the
value of interrogating the moral underpinnings of market
realities."" -Andy Rotman Smith College ""This probing study of the
interaction between religion and economics is urgently needed. It
makes a unique contribution. Not since the work of Max Weber has
the question received the intellectual attention it clearly
deserves in our world marked by deep inequalities between rich and
poor. This book raises challenging questions and proposes
stimulating solutions that will demand equally serious exploration
in the years ahead."" -David Hollenbach, SJ Boston College About
