Environment, Economy, And Christian Ethics: Alternative Views On Christians And Markets

Economist Alistair Young urges Christians to support strong governmental and intergovernmental action to improve existing global economic systems and provide adequate environmental protection. The book argues that environmental policy raises important ethical and theological issues around uncertainty, inequality the rights of traditional communities, and the obligation to respect nonhuman creation. While theologians have not always shown awareness of the likely economic consequences of their own proposals, a key aim of this book is to develop sound ethical foundations for environmental policy, while providing concrete perspective on economic realities.
