| Summary: | Four levels of competition are distinguished: the local, face-to-face level, the industrial level, the level of government and the level of global currency competition. Influence seeps down to the local level from the global level, turning otherwise healthy forms of competition into destructive patterns, in which human relations are modelled upon the relations between currencies. The result is a spirituality of money, which shapes the image of the self, the symbols of achievement and expectations of the future. Theological resources for resistance are suggested and several policies for pacifying the unethical aspects of financial competition are mentioned. |
