Download or read book Interrupting Capitalism written by Matthew A. Shadle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade since the financial crisis of 2008, governments around the world have struggled to develop strategies to stabilize precarious markets, encourage growth, and combat mounting wealth inequality. In the United States, the recovery from that crisis has exacerbated the fears of the working and middle classes and pitted those classes against the wealthy. Although we participate every day in economic life as workers, consumers, employers, or activists, we often experience the economy as a mysterious force that we cannot control, or fully understand. Matthew Shadle argues that Catholics ought to be able to draw on their faith to help navigate and make sense of economic life, but too often the effort to get ahead or just stay afloat drowns out faith's appeal. Interrupting Capitalism proposes a new strategy for Christian economic discipleship. Rather than engage the two theological poles of continuity and rupture, Christians should interrupt capitalism: neither whole-heartedly endorsing global capitalism nor seeking to dismantle it. This means "breaking into" the economy, embracing those aspects that enhance human well-being while transforming the market in a spirit of solidarity. Shadle argues that all three of the dominant theological approaches dealing with economic life-the progressive, neoconservative, and liberationist-are theologies of continuity. A fourth approach, a communitarian one, he believes, can best embody the strategy of interrupting capitalism. The Catholic tradition, including its tradition of social teaching, provides a cultural structure that, along with their own social context, conditions how Catholics think about and engage in economic activity. Drawing on the resources of the tradition, theologians reflect on this activity, giving it a theoretical justification and offering correctives. Both the experience of ordinary Catholics and the work of theologians feed into new articulations of Catholic social teaching. Offering an overview of Catholic thought since the Second World War, Shadle begins with the experience of Catholics in Western Europe at mid-century, moving to Latin America and the United States in the 1970s and 80s, and then concluding with the phenomenon of globalization.

Download or read book The Crisis and the Kingdom written by E. Philip Davis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ongoing global financial crisis was not simply the fault of the financial sector. Bankers, households, and governments had all entered a spiral of greed, selfishness, and impatience in pursuit of their respective aims of higher remuneration, greater consumption, and enhanced popularity. The outcome, besides costly bank bailouts, has been rising private and public debt and stagnant economies. Economics, the ruling paradigm in today's society, can explain their motivation of self-interest but not the underlying irrationality of their behavior. Taking a view from Scripture, Philip Davis critiques the overall aims of individuals, as assumed by economics--wealth, consumption, and power--in contrast to Jesus' proclamation of the kingdom of God, the love for God and neighbor, and responsible stewardship of resources. In doing so, he aims to equip Christians to better understand the crisis from a kingdom perspective, to provide the church with a distinctive voice in these troubled times, and to press for radical Christian solutions to address the underlying difficulties. This little book aims to redress the gap in Christians' understanding that led the theologian Jurgen Moltmann to remark trenchantly, "The neglect of economics is a wound in the side of the church."

Book excerpt: “For a long time to come, this book may well be the definitive work on the economic teaching of the modern popes." —MICHAEL NOVAK The Catholic Church has long been one of the most important—but least understood—authorities on capitalism and democracy. The confusion and controversy didn't begin with Pope Francis. For well over a century popes have offered profound reflections on the economic and political order in their social encyclicals. But this estimable intellectual tradition has often been misunderstood, with partisan groups variously proclaiming Catholic social teaching to be left-wing or right-wing, pro-socialist or pro-capitalist or even pro–“third way.” Papal Economics corrects the record. Father Maciej Zięba’s incisive analysis shows that the Church displays a profound understanding of democracy and—perhaps more surprising—strong support for free markets. As Father Zięba demonstrates, popes have explicitly rejected socialism while praising a democratic state and market economy. Of course, this praise is not unqualified. Papal Economics shows how the Church, especially through John Paul’s teachings, distinguishes true democracy from false, and praiseworthy capitalism from the kind to be rejected. Moving beyond the narrow confines of secular discourse, Catholic social teaching highlights the dangers that arise when the market and the state are elevated to absolutes in themselves—when man’s spiritual dimensions are subordinated to his material ones. Ultimately, anyone who cares about free markets and democracy must understand, and defend, the foundations on which they are built. For as John Paul suggested, in a world without truth, freedom loses its meaning, the market loses its efficiency, and democracy yields to statism.
Download or read book The Church and Economics written by Christopher Hollis and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to describe the teaching of the Catholic Church on economics--the effect which the Catholic Church has had and ought to have had on the development of the world's economy. However, there is in fact nothing in the Gospels to suggest that the Lord was at all interested in setting out an economic system. The Church does not have a specific economic position, but it does point out the immoral and anti-religious aspects that pervade systems such as fascism and communism, and which are sometimes present in other doctrines.

Download or read book A Nation for All written by Chris Korzen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-15 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the eve of the most important presidential election in decades, A NATION FOR ALL sounds the trumpet to the tens of millions of U.S. Catholics who have refused to buy the notion that people of faith must subscribe to the narrow agenda of the far right. By shining the light of authentic Catholic teaching on pressing contemporary concerns like war, human dignity, poverty, and the looming global climate crisis, this book shows Catholics how their own faith tradition calls them to tackle a sweeping array of issues commonly left out of the faith and politics dialog. Most important, A NATION FOR ALL demonstrates how the core Catholic and Christian belief in promoting the common good can provide Americans of all faith traditions with a much-needed solution to the downward spiral of greed, materialism, and excessive individualism.
Download or read book Catholic Social Conscience written by Keith Chappell and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This outstanding collection of essays sets out to explore the possibilities for a renewed catholic social conscience in the aftermath of three related-but contrasting-crises namely the demise of european communism, the recent and ongoing international economic collapse and the devastating blow to catholic credibility in the public sphere represented by the widespread and senior coverup of clergy child sex-abuse. Interdisciplinary in nature, the essays seek to reground theological thinking in a fresh way, to draw out traditions that have been lost in the midst of political and cultural struggle and to focus on specific instances of social need. In doing this they tease out emerging tensions between ecclesiastical rhetoric and the Church's institutional capacity, and skills to match words to deeds; the essays also reflect on specific instances of public engagement and theology which have both helped and hindered advocacy for a common good. Hopeful in tone, the collection is mission-centred comprising contributions from those who are leading figures in all of their fields. Catholic Social Conscience will be of particular interest to all Christians who have believed that the Catholic Social Teaching tradition, up to now, had something to offer the Christian community as a whole by way of resources to navigate the call to civic and social action. It will appeal to Catholic parish council members, charity workers, activists, catechists, religious, seminarians, and academics. Indeed, it should inspire those seeking to reflect on the future of Catholic social thought and action in an era when the traction of the social encyclical tradition in the face of economic crisis, and the legitimacy of the Church's frontline figures in the aftermath of the abuse crisis, has never been more important, contested nor more under pressure.
