Opis

Interrupting Capitalism traces the history of Catholic thinking about economic life from the perspective of a "theology of interruption." The church's social teaching provides a way for Christians to interrupt capitalism, to live out economic life faithfully in the midst of the global economy.

Recenzje

Shadle's truly helpful book challenges tired and narrow debates of whether the Church is 'for' or 'against' capitalism with a nuanced look at the concrete intellectual, political, cultural, and policy contexts in which the Church's modern social teaching has developedfrom Leo XIII and postwar Social Democracy to Liberation Theology and American Neocons. By taking history seriously, this book opens the possibility of a richer debate about how to move forward.
