Spirit and Capital in an Age of Inequality

This volume brings together a diverse group of scholars to consider one of the most pressing issues of our time: increasing inequalities of income and wealth that grate against justice and erode the bonds that hold society together. Spirit and Capital in an Age of Inequality explores the inner experience of life in a society marked by inequality, tracing the contours of stress, hopelessness, and a restless lack of contentment by pointing to visions of a common good that might offer some new ways forward.This volume will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and scholars of religion and economics, as well as policy-makers seeking a more thorough understanding of the role of religion and theology in public life.
