On God's Side, December 13, 2013

In this chapter, Wallis lays out his arguments for a moral economy. Do you think such a thing is possible? Were you surprised to learn how much of corporate profits came from the financial sector (p. 207)? Does that statistic trouble you? How did you respond to the quotation from Luke Bretherton? How do you respond to his characterization of our economy as unfair, unsustainable, unstable, and producing unhappiness? Are you ready to make (or already have made) lifestyle changes that lead us to a more sustainable economy? Should parishes be encouraging more reliance on the local economy?
