Description

In today’s innovative, technology-driven, globalized environment—the marketplace is as complex and multi-faceted as it has ever been.  Naturally, for people of faith, this invites several questions.  How should we conceive of the market system?  What does faithful participation look like?  Where do markets provide value?  Where should we be cautious?  This short book aims to explore this complexity, understanding with both our head and heart.
