Book Description
An examination of the views on capitalism of bishops, academics and business people in the Church of England. Highlighting the richness and distinctiveness of these arguments, it also points to flaws and gaps. Offering a new framework for public theology, Poole urges the Church to take its proper place in re-shaping the global economy.
