We live in an age of greed. Economic good times and the
self-immolation of socialist alternatives have left capitalism
unrivaled in popular minds as a way of life-a prized set of values
and expectations. However, capitalism is not without its downside
or its victims. Basic human services-and even religion-have become
commodities. Corporations reorganize for short-term gain at the
expense of employees-and of their own long-term viability.
Increasingly, people see themselves not as citizens but as
consumers. First World countries, 15 percent of the globe, account
for 86 percent of private consumption. In this important book,
Childs probes this disturbing development in its economic and
cultural dimensions, gauging contemporary ways in light of
Christian ethical principles and investigating a wide range of
particular sectors and problems. This is an accessible, clear
discussion of a complex topic accompanied by thoughtful questions
for further group discussion.
