Description
Summary:It is difficult to understate the impact of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis on entire economies, local communities, families and individuals. The Crisis, and what has followed, provides a window into the behaviour of large corporations and the assumptions underpinning corporate life more generally. This raises issues for the Christian Church and for all faiths seeking a more collective view of our common good and a shared journey. This article evaluates the extent to which anything has been learned since 2008, both within financial services and more widely, and presents ways in which a focus on faith, ethics, culture and community outcomes can be brought to the fore and embedded in businesses and organisations to achieve a longer-term maturity.
