Healing and Creativity in Economic Ethics Reviews
Stephen Martin has provided us with what we need to get started envisioning the genuine alternative that Lonergan provides to the liberal capitalist and Marxist dead-ends. For this we can only be grateful. May this work be read by many, may it influence our religious leaders as they work out Catholic social and economic teaching, and may it help us affirm that a genuine alternative does indeed exist. -- Robert Doran, S.J., Emmett Doerr Chair of Theology, Marquette University
In this short book, Professor Martin presents a clear challenge to the Christian community to move forward towards a serious understanding of the fundamentals of economic life. One simply does not know what is happening economically without the functional division that is hinted at by Joseph Schumpeter but developed seriously by Lonergan...Perhaps Martin will do eventually what Lonergan failed to do: shake the orthodoxies of both the ecclesial and the economic establishments. -- Philip McShane, Professor Emeritus, Mount St. Vincent University; Editor of Bernard Lonergan's Towards a New Political Economy
Martin succeeds in introducing his reader to the many relevant sides of Lonergan's thought in a clear and accessible style. His explanation...may engage readers and students in lively discussion and provide familiar images to assist the reader's understanding. * Catholic Books Review, January 2009 *
The body of this fascinating book mines the deep economic thought of one of Catholicism's geniuses, Bernard Lonergan, a Jesuit who died in 1982, whose brilliant career of teaching and writing culminated in a short book on economics which was published posthumously. Martin does a great service to both economics and Lonergan studies by illuminating his economic thought and bringing its implications for economics to the surface. -- William M. Shea, Director, Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture College of the Holy Cross
