Called to be concerned with the spiritual and material welfare of every person, the Church has responded to these developments by seeking to answer numerous questions asked by her spiritual children. While in the early 1990s the Church’s response in the economic and social sphere focused primarily on particular pressing problems, by the end of this decade and especially in the beginning of the 21st century, the Orthodox socio-economic thought has addressed the profound ethical issues involved in this field.", p 240.Pages: 6engWith permission of the license/copyright holdereconomic ethicsOrthodox ethicssocietyleadershipEconomic ethicsCultural ethicsMethods of ethicsBusiness ethicsSecularisation and ethicsTheological ethicsBook chapter
