Aquinas and the Market

Informationen zum Autor Mary L. Hirschfeld is Associate Professor of Economics and Theology in the Department of the Humanities, Villanova University. Klappentext Economists investigate the workings of markets and tend to set ethical questions aside. Theologians often dismiss economics, losing insights into the influence of market incentives on individual behavior. Mary L. Hirschfeld bridges this gap by showing how a humane economy can lead to the good life as outlined in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas.
