About this title

Synopsis

A call to unite workers and capital through faith-driven reform.

This book argues that Christianity can shape the modern workplace by lifting labor toward justice and reminding both sides that they share a common humanity. It presents a vision where faith informs economic life and guides practical solutions.

Through accessible analysis, it surveys how religious life intersects with industry, suggests that churches should welcome rich and poor alike at the same table, and explores how political and economic ideas fit with gospel values. The author examines socialism and proposed remedies that keep property rights intact while seeking fairer treatment for workers, including practical approaches like profit-sharing.
