Economy of Desire - Bell Daniel
In this addition to the award-winning Church and Postmodern Culture series, respected theologian Daniel Bell compares and contrasts capitalism and Christianity, showing how Christianity provides resources for faithfully navigating the postmodern global economy.Bell approaches capitalism and Christianity as alternative visions of humanity, God, and the good life. He engages the work of two important postmodern philosophers, Deleuze and Foucault, to illuminate the nature of the postmodern world that the church currently inhabits. Considering faith and economics in terms of how desire is shaped, he casts the conflict as one between different disciplines of desire.
In contrast, he presents Christianity and the tradition of the works of mercy as a way beyond Bell then considers how the global economy deforms desire in a manner that distorts human relations with God and one another.
