Working Alternatives explores economic life from a humanistic and
multidisciplinary perspective, with a particular eye on religions'
implications in practices of work, management, supply, production,
remuneration, and exchange. Its contributors draw upon historical,
ethical, business, and theological conversations considering the
sources of economic sustainability and justice. The essays in this
book-from scholars of business, religious ethics, and history-offer
readers practical understanding and analytical leverage over these
pressing issues. Modern Catholic social teaching-a 125-year-old
effort to apply Christian thinking about the implications of faith
for social, political, and economic circumstances-provides the key
springboard for these discussions. Contributors: Gerald J. Beyer,
Alison Collis Greene, Kathleen Holscher, Michael Naughton, Michael
Pirson, Nicholas Rademacher, Vincent Stanley, Sandra
Sullivan-Dunbar, Kirsten Swinth, Sandra Waddock

Nicholas Rademacher's book is meticulously researched and clearly
written, shedding new light on Monsignor Paul Hanly Furfey's life
by drawing on Furfey's copious published material and substantial
archival deposit. Paul Hanly Furfey (1896-1992) is one of U.S.
Catholicism's greatest champions of peace and social justice. He
and his colleagues at The Catholic University of America offered a
revolutionary view of the university as a center for social
transformation, not only in training students to be agents for
social change but also in establishing structures which would
empower and transform the communities that surrounded the
university. In part a response to the Great Depression, their
social settlement model drew on the latest social scientific
research and technique while at the same time incorporating
principles they learned from radical Catholics like Dorothy Day and
Catherine de Hueck Doherty. Likewise, through his academic
scholarship and popular writings, Furfey offered an alternative
vision of the social order and identified concrete steps to achieve
that vision. Indeed, Furfey remains a compelling exemplar for
anyone who pursues truth, beauty, and justice, especially within
the context of higher education and the academy. Leaving behind an
important legacy for Catholic sociology, Furfey demonstrated how to
balance liberal, radical, and revolutionary social thought and
practice to elicit new approaches to social reform.
