Global-based market exchange offers the development and distribution of the goods of creation for humans to enjoy and share. Globalization also offers "the most realistic and promising way of exercising a preferential option for the poor." Waters argues that economic globalization, and thus capitalism, is a necessary condition for sustaining human life but not a sufficient condition for enabling human flourishing. Even though globalization is generally compatible with Christian theological and moral claims and can realistically facilitate the well-being of the human family, it must be reoriented toward koinonia -- human community, communication, fellowship -- as the global economy's primary goal in order to help actualize human flourishing. Readers will gain insight about how economic globalization (and thus capitalism) is good for the human family and can be made better by certain reorientations that are compatible with Christian moral values. Waters provides a mature and civil counterargument against knee-jerk condemnations of economic globalization and capitalism. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100105 650 0 $a Globalization $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008118202 650 7 $a Capitalism $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846444 650 7 $a Globalization $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00943543 776 08 $i Online version: $a Waters, Brent, author. $t Just capitalism $d Louisville, KY : Westminster John Knox Press, 2016 $z 9781611646917 $w (DLC) 2016013315 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210020629.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C553390ED3011E78644BA0B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
