O knihe
During the first decade of the 20th century we have witnessed increasing concerns for the
world economy with demands for new financial capital to pay off huge national debts and
pressures for economic growth all over the world. On top of that there is an increasing
ecological crisis as well as a humanitarian crisis due to poverty, violence and war, which is at
least partly due narrow economic goals and do not pay much attention to the wider
environmental, social and cultural context (Polanyi, 2001). Modern economists or sociopolitical
scientists do even less relate economy to religion or faith although Weber explained
earlier that Protestant Ethics provided legitimacy for capitalism. In recent years, however,
several theologians have written extensively on what is sometimes referred to as "theological
economy" (Brattgård, 1963; Hall, Meeks, 1989; Long, 2000; Nelson, 2001;Tanner,
2005;Atherton, 2008). Several of these researchers states that the household economy is the
necessary basis or framework for an inclusive view on the deeper culture of economy as a that
also pays attention to a an ecumenical (oikoumene) perspective. The assumption is that all
resources human or natural are given freely to all the people as stewards of God.
