Summary
"Philip Goodchild offers a philosophical analysis of the contemporary economy in terms of the way it structures credit and faith. The Great Financial Crisis of 2007 and onwards has exposed the extent to which the economy functions as a network of credits and debts. Credit and debt may now be understood as the driving force of economic behavior. Building on and extending Goodchild's "Theology of Money", the author exposes the extent to which humanity has become enslaved within theories and institutions of its own making. As the second volume in his "Credit and faith trilogy", Goodchild explains how the economy itself is a way of shaping time and attention, care and evaluation, trust and cooperation, so directly assuming a theological critique of the dynamics of financial capitalism."--Page 4 de la couverture.
