The contrasting views of two strong-willed, intelligent, faithful, and astutely reasoned individuals." —Library Bookwatch, 7/1/2004"Seldom does one read a book on economics so well thought out and well written that it can treat a complex subject this thoroughly and understandably in only 151 pages... clearly both authors are exceptional thinkers and writers." —Gerald F. Vaughn, retired, University of Delaware,Journal of Economic Issues, 3/1/2005"Every economist could benefit from reading this book. It explores fundamental questions about the role and moral implications of the market in society...with honesty and a fresh new relevance." —Robert H. Nelson, University of Maryland,Journal of Economic Literature, 3/1/2005"This book would be a particularly useful study for a seminary-level course in economic ethics, or perhaps a clergy or parish book study group. It is well referenced and accessibly written." —Wendy Dackson,Anglican Theological Review"For feminist economists interested in religion and/or in the perspectives of leading US female social scientists, this book will make interesting reading." —Julie A.
