Following Credit and Faith and Economic Theology, this third volume
in the series develops a metaphysics which is missing when trust is
ordered around economic theories and institutions. Human existence
may be conceived according to its temporal dimensions of
appropriation, participation, and offering. Engaging with the
Western philosophical tradition from the Neo-Pythagoreans and Plato
to Heidegger and Arendt, drawing especially from Augustine and
Weil, Goodchild offers striking reconstructions of the meanings of
economic, political and religious dimensions of life. The outcome
is an elaboration of conceptions of wealth, power, contingency,
necessity and grace which give a new orientation to human life and
endeavour. Goodchild situates this discussion within the current
historical era of the breakdown of global financial capitalism. He
draws from the Financial Revolution in England as a time of crisis
which illuminates our own. Faced with a range of global crises,
Goodchild proposes an alternative between strategies for survival:
either submission before a Great Machine of Credit as an
autonomous, unthinking system for regulating human behaviour or
accession to the necessity of grace as a way of empowering the
pursuit of wealth, justice and thought.
