Abstract

This book shows how families are profoundly influenced by the economic systems and the ideologies of economic life that surround them. The structural changes in our society--from hunting and gathering to agriculture to trade and early industrialization--and in our economy--from early capitalism to socialism, postindustrialism, and nowthe global economy--have had a profound impact onthe structure, purpose, and well-being of families. The book explores not only how families have been shaped by economies but also how the faith or religious vision that families by can shape economies (as for instance in the influences of the Reformation). It demonstrates how "covenant theology" has functioned to guide families, market, and government. This not only occurred in Geneva, England, and early America, but also can happen today and possibly in the future. For this age of corporations, global economies, dynamic markets, weakened families, beleaguered governments, and deteriorating civil societies, the book develops a "public theology" based on fresh interpretations of what it means to have covenant relationships.

Abstract

In this study, Robert H. Nelson explores the genesis, the prophets, the prophesies, and the tenets of what he sees as a religion of economics that has come into full blossom in latter-day America. Nelson does not see ";theology"; as a bad word, and his examination of the theology underlying Samuelsonian and Chicagoan economics is not a put-down. It is a way of seeing the rhetoric of fundamental belief—what has been called ";vision.";
