Markets and Other Social Structures: Analyzing Moral Ecologies in Christian Ethics - Hardcover

by David Cloutier (Editor), Christina McRorie (Editor)

This volume honors and examines Daniel Finn's transformative contributions to the field of Christian ethics. In a career spanning nearly fifty years, Finn became a preeminent thinker on Christian economic ethics and pioneered pathways of interdisciplinary engagement between theological ethics and the social sciences. In this collection, a wide range of scholars from several disciplines take up key themes from Finn's scholarship--including the terms of the dialogue between economics and theology, the importance of attending to a market's "moral ecology" when evaluating economic activity, and the use of critical realism for theological reflections on structural sin and moral agency--critically exploring and developing the relevance of these for social ethics and extending them to address new problems.
