My husband, Edward Hadas, is away in the U.S.A. this week, promoting his book which is called 'Human Goods, Economic Evils - A Moral Approach to the Dismal Science'. You can read more about it and order a copy at http://edwardhadas.com
It's an attempt to bring a Christian perspective to bear on the often de-humanized field of economics. He uses the basic tenets of Christianity to challenge the 'greed is good' philosophy of classical economists, and offers a refreshing alternative based on a view of mankind as flawed but fundamentally seeking the good not only of himself, but of the other. I found the book extrememly interesting (and I'm not an economist!) and would recommend it to anyone interested in these issues. P.S. - the Times Literary Supplement liked it too! So it's not just me.
