About the author

Summary

The many meanings of "economy" are the ground for the mediation and lament of Ledger. It places an individual's crisis of spirituality and personal stewardship, or management of her resources, against a backdrop of a culture that has focused its "economy" on financial gain and has misspent its own tangible and intangible resources.
