Synopsis

Driven by Hope focuses on the central human experience of hope. In particular, it seeks to further a dialogue on this theme between theology and economics - but it also contains input from philosophy and psychology. The volume is the result of an international conference on the theme. The first chapter describes hope as a phenomenon with seven dimensions - it also introduces the Hopebarometer 1.0, a psychometric instrument to measure these dimensions. The other thirteen chapters of the book are grouped in three parts. The first part, 'Economic Perspectives', focuses on the question how the study of hope can be appropriated more fully in the discipline of economics. The second part, 'Theological Perspectives', investigates hope from a theological point of view, and seeks to integrate this with an economic understanding of hope. The third and last part, 'Case Studies', focuses on the role of hope in specific practices.
