Imagine a Joyful Economy

Autor James Gustave Speth, Peter Denton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2020
"We desperately need a new American Dream," says Speth, "a dream of an America where the pursuit of happiness is sought not in more getting and spending, but in the growth of human solidarity, devoted friendship, and meaningful accomplishment; where the average person is empowered to achieve his or her human potential; where the benefits of economic activity are widely and equitably shared; where democracy and civic participation flourish at all levels; where the environment is sustained for current and future generations; and, where the virtues of simple living, community self-reliance, good fellowship, and respect for nature predominate. These traditions do not always prevail today, but they are not dead. They await us, and indeed they are currently being awakened across America." Looking at Christianity's role, Denton sees both complicity in the destruction of the natural world, and the positive role it could still play. "Faith is entirely personal and individual, but it can also be collective and communal. Faith can mobilize whole communities into action, to ends which are both practical and which bring glory to God and which transform our world in the direction of a sustainable future, one better choice at a time."

Recenzii

"This book is a welcome addition to the emerging discussions of integrating ecology, economics, politics, ethics, and values. It urges us to rethink how we create thriving social and economic systems for the flourishing of the Earth community. We are indebted to Speth and Denton for articulating these new directions in a clear and accessible manner." - Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, Directors, Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology and Executive Producers, Journey of the Universe film -- 20200228
