From Encounter to Economy: The Religious Significance of Economic Experience

From Encounter to Economy considers core ideas in pre-economic thought, aiming at a nontechnical presentation in the field of metaeconomics.

The text shows that Christian experience, ultimately grounded in the encounter with Jesus Christ, rejects the purely secular claim that achievement of the good economy is the task of man alone.
