SynopsisThe philosophical theology and economic ideas of the Canadian Jesuit Bernard Lonergan (1904-84) form the superstructure of the book. Its genius lies in the authors' fusing the fruit of their scholarship with Lonergan's ideas without disturbing the flow of their argument. The two scholars detail carefully, but unapologetically, why they've had to draw from a theologian to correct the errors of economists. For, in Lonergan, they find a rich tapestry of economic ideas and "fresh original thinking" that can help resolve some contested issues in economics... The realities of contemporary global society cry for such a development and prompt us to ask: How does Lonergan's economics fit the new world global financial market? Does his economic theory adequately address how we can overcome the limitations of those social and economic engineers who are content with making the masses seem like raw materials of rich people's economic propaganda? "Attentive, Intelligent, Rational, and Responsible": Transforming Economics to Save the Planet answers these questions and many more., The philosophical theology and economic ideas of the Canadian Jesuit Bernard Lonergan (1904-84) form the superstructure of the book. Its genius lies in the authors' fusing the fruit of their scholarship with Lonergan's ideas without disturbing the flow of their argument.
