Working Alternatives

Working Alternatives explores economic life from a humanistic and multidisciplinary perspective, with a particular eye on religions implications in practices of work, management, supply, production, remuneration, and exchange. Its contributors draw upon historical, ethical, business, and theological conversations considering the sources of economic sustainability and justice. The essays in this bookfrom scholars of business, religious ethics, and historyoffer readers practical understanding and analytical leverage over these pressing issues. Modern Catholic social teachinga 125-year-old effort to apply Christian thinking about the implications of faith for social, political, and economic circumstancesprovides the key springboard for these discussions.
