| Summary: | The author struggles with the seeming impossibility of speaking coherently about wealth in the context of spirituality in the modem world. How are we to overcome the insidious lure of Mammon? He revisits the history of new religious orders in the Middle Ages, the later growth of capitalism, and the silencing of a religious voice. Finally, he turns to the idea of 'gift' in the Eucharist as a counter-balance to the 'sacred doctrines' of wealth and economics. |
