Subverting Greed: Religious Perspectives on the Global Economy

Subverting Greed: Religious Perspectives on the Global Economy is a collection of insightful essays by distinguished scholars of religion—all of whom are also practitioners of the religious traditions they examine. The essays consider the economic impact of globalization through the unique lenses of each religion, defining common problems and proposing common solutions in the process. Subverting Greed is a useful addition and corrective to the typical discussion of global economics, which is often preoccupied with simplistic celebrations of material growth. By focusing on the human, communal, and spiritual dimensions of globalization and global economic justice, the essays in this volume will help students develop a more balanced and nuanced understanding of our world.
