In this significant reimagining of Weber's work, Kathryn Tanner provocatively reverses this thesis, arguing that Christianity can offer a direct challenge to the largely uncontested growth of capitalism.   Exploring the cultural forms typical of the current finance-dominated system of capitalism, Tanner shows how they can be countered by Christian beliefs and practices with a comparable person-shaping capacity. Addressing head-on the issues of economic inequality, structural under- and unemployment, and capitalism's unstable boom/bust cycles, she draws deeply on the theological resources within Christianity to imagine anew a world of human flourishing. This book promises to be one of the most important theological books in recent years. 410 0$aYale scholarship online. 606 $aCapitalism$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aCapitalism$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a261.85 700 $aTanner$b Kathryn$f1957-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01532828 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793273903321 996 $aChristianity and the New Spirit of Capitalism$93808306 997 $aUNINA
