Description
For good or ill, the capitalism we have is the capitalism we have chosen, says Kenneth Barnes. Capitalism works, and the challenge before us is not to change its structure but to address the moral vacuum at the core of its current practice.
In Redeeming Capitalism Barnes explores the history and workings of this sometimes-brutal economic system. He investigates the effects of postmodernism and unpacks biblical-theological teachings on work and wealth. Proposing virtuous choices as a way out of such pitfalls as the recent global financial crisis, Barnes envisions a more just and flourishing capitalism for the good of all.
Advance Praise
“In this remarkable and timely book, Kenneth Barnes argues that capitalism can be reformed through the nurturing of virtues within the culture of business. Drawing on solid experience in business and finance he is a credible voice in claiming that the cardinal virtues in Christian faith can transform corporate values. With prophetic insight and informed by theological expertise, he makes the even more daring and original proposal that the theological virtues of faith, hope and love can be embodied in commercial life and make capitalism a workable system in our modern world. This readable and convincing book is essential reading for all those who are disturbed by a moral vacuum at the heart of business, or who want to know how the Christian faith can speak into our present financial crisis.”
