Greed

"We Live in an age of greed. Economic good times and the self-destruction of socialist systems have left capitalism unrivaled in popular minds as a way of life. Yet today's economy is not without its downside or its victims. Basic human services - and even religion - have become commodities. Corporations reorganize for short-term viability. Increasingly, people see themselves not as citizens but as consumers.". "In this book, Childs probes this disturbing development in its economic and cultural dimensions, gauging contemporary ways in light of Christian ethical principles. Investigating such issues as corporate downsizing, executive compensation, health-care delivery, and global economic disparities mirrored in hunger, Childs also offers a biblically-based alternative vision of sharing and community."--BOOK JACKET.
