Our Economy Morality
"Our Economy Morality" presents a profound examination of the tension between modern economic practices and the foundational ethics of the Christian faith. Written during a transformative period in industrial history, Harry Ward explores how the competitive nature of capitalism affects the moral fabric of society. The work scrutinizes the psychological and social consequences of a profit-driven economy, contrasting these realities with the altruistic and communal ideals found in religious teachings.
Through a rigorous analysis of labor, wealth, and property, Ward challenges the reader to consider the moral implications of their economic environment. He argues for a shift in perspective where the pursuit of material gain is balanced against the needs of the community and the dictates of conscience. This book serves as a cornerstone of the Social Gospel movement, offering a passionate critique of economic inequality and a vision for a more just and ethical social order. It is an essential read for those interested in the historical development of social ethics and the intersection of theology and economics.
