For God and Profit: How Banking and Finance Can Serve the Common Good by Samuel Gregg

  • Kirk Jackson

Abstract

In the world of finance, few voices provide a clear call to view finance as a restorative part of society. Instead of condemning finance and those that work in the financial sector, the author provides an argument for the good finance brings to society and how Christians can use finance to help those around them. Using a philosophical position that market based economies provide opportunity for individuals and societies to flourish, Samuel Gregg provides a three part argument which includes a history of finance, a moral framework by which finance can be restorative and how contemporary issues in the financial industry can be addressed using this framework.
