Synopsis

Explore how faith and economics meet in a rigorous discussion of modern industry, wealth, and social justice.

This discussion group text-book surveys the causes of misery in today’s world and what a Christian economic order might look like. It balances critique with a hopeful call to action, urging thoughtful reform grounded in shared human welfare.

In clear, accessible chapters, the book traces the gaps that divide societies—between classes, races, and nations—and asks how Christian principles can guide policy, business, and everyday life. It emphasizes the need for open inquiry, collaborative problem-solving, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

• Understand the major social cleavages shaping the modern world and their economic effects.
• Consider how competition, ownership, and power influence business, labor, and family life.
• Examine proposals for a Christian approach to industry, wealth, and public welfare.
• Learn how historical changes inform current debates about pace and method of reform.

Ideal for readers of history, theology, and social policy who want a grounded, faith-informed view of economic problems and possible solutions.
