Globalization and the Good

by peter-heslam

Globalization is the buzzword of the moment. But what exactly does it mean? Is globalization primarily a force for good or a force for evil? In this edited collection of papers - deriving from events organized by the Capitalism Project at the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity - leading business people, academics and theologians explore the contours of a Christian response. Although the authors represent a variety of perspectives, all are agreed that ethical and economic concerns cannot and should not be separated. In bearing witness to the insights of biblical theology, the realities of the contemporary world and the full spectrum of opinions about the issue, Globalization and the Good opens up fresh areas for reflection, and makes a highly significant and stimulating contribution to the current debate.

"Globalization" Is a a prophetic view of the rising tide of inequalities and inevitable social consequences that we are experiencing in the here and now. Each author is an excellent pick for the different perspectives that surround the topic of globalization. And yet Heslam still arranges the work in such a way that the reader is able to glean powerful insights into a Christian methodological approach to neo-capitalism and the forces of economics that perpetuate globalization in our world.
