Longley, Clifford2019-09-252019-09-252014-10-1420149780957474352http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/212420The banking crash and ensuing global recession revealed deep problems with free market economics. Yet after five years of economic instability and falling living standards, market fundamentalism – the conviction that market forces should be interfered with as little as possible – is somehow still standing with no serious rivals in the frame. In this essay, respected journalist and commentator Clifford Longley points to a way forward. With the long-standing and highly- esteemed model of Just War theory in the background, he unpacks the theory of Just Money. Drawing on the extensive and detailed tradition of Catholic Social Thought – a tradition with roots in classical philosophy and Catholic teaching that is accessible to people of all faiths and none – Longley sets out an alternative vision. The answer is not to abandon the business economy but to humanise it, thereby making it fairer, more efficient and user-friendly, never forgetting that, like the Sabbath, the market was made for man and not man for the market.Pages: 92engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)catholic social doctrineCatholic ethicsfinance ethicsbankingCapitalismEconomic ethicsEthics of economic systemsChristian denominationsRoman CatholicBook
