How Much Do We Deserve?: An Inquiry into Distributive Justice [Paperback]

Richard S. Gilbert (Author)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

June 1, 2001
Sheds new light on the injustice arising from the widening gap between rich and poor in the United States.

Economics and theology are about as far apart as two disciplines can get, but Richard Gilbert has mastered them both. Focusing on the ever-widening gap between rich and poor in the United States, HOW MUCH DO WE DESERVE? translates the esoteric languages of both the economists and the theologians into a practical guideline for citizen debate and action in a free society. As Robert Kuttner writes, "economic distribution is far too important to leave to economists."
