LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Adrian Pabst, Lecturer in Politics at the University of Kent has edited a book in response in Benedict XVI’s addition to the corpus of Catholic Social Teaching, Caritas in Veritate.

The book is entitled The Crisis of Global Capitalism: Pope Benedict XVI’s Social Encyclical and the Future of Political Economy, and features essays from a number of eminent writers, including Adrian Pabst himself (a very astute observer in political affairs as evinced by some of his articles in The Guardian and The Drum), John Milbank, David L. Schindler, Australia’s own Tracey Rowland and the Zwicks of the Catholic Worker Movement in Texas.

The book has come with endorsements by the likes of Charles Taylor, as well as the Archbishop of Granada, Javier Martinez Fernandez, a long-time supporter and friend to the theological movement, Radical Orthodoxy. It promises to be a most informative read, and the Centre for Theology and Philosophy have provided the table of contents, which is reproduced below:
