Faith and enterprise are often seen as irreconcilable, as impossible to mix as oil and water. And yet they share deep roots when considered in the context of God’s project to transform the world by his presence.Economics is something that I've been meaning to look at for some time: partly because I'm not very good at all with my finances (read: self-control is almost non-existent), and partly because issues of finance are so pervasive and the Church (and those who constitute it) surely must comment. What interests me particularly, though, is this segment of the blurb: when considered in the context of God's project to transform the world by his presence. This is almost a very short paraphrase of my doctoral thesis, so I'm very interested to know what links Heslam makes between economics and providence.
This penetrating study touches on theological, ethical and practical issues, and includes case studies that point to a positive future for transforming capitalism.
I hope to obtain Transforming Capitalism soon and aim to post a review.
