An examination of the views on capitalism of bishops, academics and business people in the Church of England.

Budde contends that world Catholicism, led by its Third World majority (most notably in Latin America), will continue to develop in an increasingly anticapitalist direction; and he suggests that once-dominant First World Catholic churches (exemplified by the U.S. Catholic church), are poorly placed to respond in solidarity with their coreligionists from the Third World. Covering a wide range of theoretical and substantive matters, The Two Churches examines religion as a source of both social legitimation and social rebellion. It demonstrates the importance of ecclesiology, a branch of theology dealing with "theories of the church," and it highlights the effect of capitalism on world Catholicism, as well as the latter's influence on the development of the capitalist order.

In this addition to the award-winning Church and Postmodern Culture series, respected theologian Daniel Bell compares and contrasts capitalism and Christianity, showing how Christianity provides resources for faithfully navigating the postmodern global economy. Bell approaches capitalism and Christianity as alternative visions of humanity, God, and the good life. Considering faith and economics in terms of how desire is shaped, he casts the conflict as one between different disciplines of desire. He engages the work of two important postmodern philosophers, Deleuze and Foucault, to illuminate the nature of the postmodern world that the church currently inhabits. Bell then considers how the global economy deforms desire in a manner that distorts human relations with God and one another. In contrast, he presents Christianity and the tradition of the works of mercy as a way beyond capitalism and socialism, beyond philanthropy and welfare. Christianity heals desire, renewing human relations and enabling communion with God.

Papal Economics corrects the record about one of the most important—but least understood—authorities on capitalism and democracy: the Catholic Church. Maciej Zieba, OP—a leading interpreter of the thought of Pope John Paul II—takes readers on an enlightening tour through the Catholic Church’s social teaching on economics and governance. Examining papal pronouncements from the late nineteenth century to the present, Zieba shows that the Church displays a profound understanding of democracy and support for free markets. But this praise is not unqualified—a major reason why secular commentators of all stripes misinterpret Catholic social teaching. Updated with a brand-new afterword explaining the controversial economic teachings of Pope Francis, Papal Economics is the essential book for understanding the proper path forward.

How do the prevalent global models of economic growth, with their emphasis on creating "new markets" and growing emphasis on creating global consumers rather than citizens, influence the development of Christianity throughout the world? Has the "expanding and creating new markets" mindset entered the church? Is the church more concerned with finding consumers for its product rather than educating Christians to assume a mature responsibility for developing their faith both on a personal and communal level?All these questions come to my mind as I attempt to throw light upon the relation between economy and theology. In this work, I will build bridges among anthropology (liberty), economy (development, mass media and consumption) and ecclesiology (configuration of the Church). My goal in this work is to describe how capitalism and our Christian tradition interact in the globalized world. In chapert I, I show how the concepts of "masses" and "minorities," developed by Juan Luis Segundo, are a solid framework to illustrate the relation between the economic arena and the configuration of the churches. Segundo's understanding of human life can be described as an evolutionary process or a dialectic in which two vectors relate to each other. In the economic perspective (chapter II), I explain how Amartya Sen's model of human development far surpasses and completes the neoliberal model of economic development. Amartya Sen defines development as the enhancement of freedoms that allow people to lead lives that they have reason to value. He believes that economists have placed too much emphasis on GDP as the pivotal measure of development. However, if GDP growth is not accompanied by the other factors that define a high standard of living (e.g., freedom of political process, availability of social opportunities including education and health care for all citizens, and protection from hunger and premature death), then the country is only growing richer in strictly material terms. In other words, the country is not "developing" in the fullest sense. Through the anthropological perspective (chapter III), I show how a mature/responsible mode of consumption is the best way to integrate genuine human development into an understanding of the human being as an integral entity. Finally, in chapter IV, I describe the situation whereby tendencies towards mass or compulsive consumption not only undermine our capacity to shape our freedom and our daily life, but they present a challenging question to our religious formation. The formation offered by culture industries seems utterly inevitable and this has weakened our capacity to resist. In my opinion, a vision of human development that includes responsible conduct regarding consumption can help the Christian Churches (and especially Catholics) find a mature way to approach daily life. This tendency leans on a personal experience of God and looks for a "Ministry based on Ecclesial Graciousness" addressing a model of configuring the Church as community of solidarity. This corrects a "Ministry based on Ecclesiastical Demographics," where the church is more concerned to find "consumers" for its products rather than focusing on a personal experience of God. I conclude by noting that the way we consume is part of how we express our human condition. Consumer culture is the very context in which my freedom makes difficult discernments on a daily basis. In a world where my freedom is conditioned by brands, consumer culture is the battlefield where my maturity is relentlessly tested. The way I relate to matters involving the economy manifests my level of maturity as a human being and tests the way my behavior witnesses to what I trust.

The Church and the Market is a vigorous and lively defense of the market economy and a withering attack on all forms of state intervention. It covers labor unions, monopoly, money and banking, business cycles, interest, usury, and much more. Although it makes a particular point of noting the moral arguments of the market economy and that Catholics are of course perfectly at liberty to support it, its audience is much broader than Catholics alone. Readers of all religious traditions and none at all have praised The Church and the Market, first-place winner in the 2006 Templeton Enterprise Awards, as one of the most compelling and persuasive defenses of capitalism against its critics ever written.

These days "getting religion" is generally considered a rather quaint thing of the past. "Getting spirituality," on the other hand, is the hottest thing on the market. In fact, corporate-sponsored spiritual salve is becoming the most popular prescription for the overworked and soul-weary employees. But for many Christians, this antidote has become its own epidemic. How is this epidemic infecting the church? How should the church respond as a community of believers? According to authors Michael Budde and Robert Brimlow, the church must resist becoming the "chaplain to capitalism." Christianity Incorporated reminds us that Christ-centered discipleship is fundamentally at odds with consumer capitalist priorities. The church must have a mission and a voice in society that is distinct from, rather than in chorus with, watered-down corporate spirituality. Christianity Incorporated is a wake-up call for all Christians. Courageous, current, and accessible, this book will provide guidance and insight to anyone concerned with pursuing Christian discipleship in our consumer culture.
