Market Economy and Christian Ethics

In this book Peter Sedgwick explores the relation of a theology of justice to that of human identity in the context of the market economy. He focuses on three main themes: how the market economy shapes personal identity, through consumption and the experience of paid employment in relation to the work ethic; the impact of the global economy on local cultures; and the effects of technology and global competition on poverty. Sedgwick recommends that the churches remain part of the debate in reforming and humanising the market economy.Sedgwick, Peter H. is the author of 'Market Economy and Christian Ethics', published 2007 under ISBN 9780521044844 and ISBN 0521044847.
