Adams Fallacy

A Guide To Economic Theology

BY DUNCAN FOLEY

Brief Description:
A member of Morningside Meeting in New York, Duncan Foley attempts to separate the economic sphere of life from the rest of social life, where the pursuit of self-interest is morally problematic and has to be weighed against other ends. Smith argued that the "market" results in tremendous gains in productivity, which lead to a higher standard of living, yet the market does not address the problem of how this gain in wealth is to be divided among the members of society, nor does it address such problems as the well-being of the planet. Beautifully written with interesting observations and insights on almost every page.
