Credo Credit Crisis : Speculations on Faith and Money, Paperback / softback Book

Credo Credit Crisis : Speculations on Faith and Money Paperback / softback

Edited by Aidan Tynan, Laurent Milesi, Christopher John Muller

Paperback / softback

Description

Money facilitates the rites and rituals we perform in everyday life.

More than a mere medium of exchange or a measure of value, it is the primary means by which we manifest a faith unique to our secular age.

But what happens when individual belief (credo, ‘I’ believe) and the systems into which it is bound (credit, ‘it’ believes) enter into crisis?

Where did the sacredness of money come from, and does it have a future?

Why do we talk about debt and repayment in overtly moral terms?

How should a theological critique of capitalism proceed today?

With the effects of the 2008 economic crises continuing to be felt across the world, this volume brings together some of the most important contemporary voices in philosophy, literature, theology, and critical and cultural theory together in one volume to assert the need to interrogate and broaden the terms of the theological critique of capitalism.
