Redeeming Capitalism

Kenneth J. Barnes

For good or ill, the capitalism we have, is the capitalism we have chosen, says Dr. Kenneth Barnes, Professor of Workplace Theology and Business Ethics at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and Fellow of the European SPES Institute. Capitalism works, but not for everyone, and the challenge before us is not to change its structure but to address the moral vacuum at the core of its current practice. In Redeeming Capitalism Barnes explores the history and workings of this sometimes-brutal economic system. He investigates the effects of postmodernism and unpacks biblical-theological teachings on work and wealth. Barnes envisions a more just and flourishing capitalism built not on the folly of naked self-interest, but on the sure foundations of faith, hope and love.
