Globalisation and the Church

Pope Benedict XVI’s 2009 encyclical Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth) reframes many questions about globalization, including what Benedict calls the principle of gratuity in economic relations, a recognition of the plurality of corporate activities within a market economy, and a new emphasis on sustainability.

This book, the fruit of a conference sponsored by Australian Catholic University, will help those who struggle with their Christian vocation in the context of globalisation to clarify their thinking and sharpen their practice.
