Description

The essays in Rediscovering Abundance provide a complex and interdisciplinary analysis of the question of wealth creation and distribution in light of the moral and spiritual insights of the Catholic social tradition.

In this volume, theologians, economists, philosophers, management theorists, and CEOs engage in conversation.

Contributors cover the dimensions of today's global system of wealth creation and outline challenges to make it more just and humane. This book questions both neoliberal and neoconservative views of the creation, distribution, and use of wealth.

The volume seeks a middle ground, avoiding both conservative bias toward market mechanisms and liberal bias against business.

It also provides practical suggestions for distributing wealth more justly, as understood within the Catholic social tradition.

Rediscovering Abundance is an important new work that will be useful in business ethics courses, as well as to ethicists, pastors, practitioners in the business community, and anyone interested in the question of how a capitalist economy can create and distribute wealth in a way that benefits the common good.
