This book analyzes how religious groups talk about the politics surrounding economic life.

Recenzje

'Scholars interested in public religion will benefit from this book's detailed portrait of three religious bodies' economic discourse. Around the world, many people view at least some aspects of global market relations critically. How would religious spokespeople generate more discussion about the morality of the global economy? Reynolds's book has given us important starting points for inquiring further.' Paul Lichterman, American Journal of Sociology
