| 520 | |a "D. Stephen Long traces three traditions in which attempts have been made to bring theology to bear on economic questions: the dominant twentieth-century tradition, which sought to give economics its independence through Weber's fact-value distinction; an emergent tradition based on the concept of liberation using a Marxist social analysis; and a residual tradition that draws on an ancient understanding of a functional economy. He concludes that the latter approach shows the greatest promise for a fruitful conversation between theology and economics because it refuses to subordinate or accommodate theological knowledge to autonomous socio-scientific research." "Divine Economy will be welcomed by all those with an interest in exploring how theology can inform economic debate."--BOOK JACKET. | ||
