Christian Economic Ethics
Building on the Hebrew Scriptures, the Christian faith’s instructions on proper economic conduct range from the New Testament’s caution on the idolatry of wealth, to the Patristic indictment of usury, to the Scholastic natural-law account of economic life, all the way to the modern Christian social thought’s proposed solutions to the problems spawned by the modern industrial marketplace and by global economic integration. Economic life is merely …
Analytical Synthesis
This concluding chapter to the Oxford Handbook of Religion and Economic Ethics presents three major findings. First, it traces the convergence of these religions’ teachings and practices on economic life to similarities in their foundational cosmologies and anthropologies. Socio-economic life is embedded within a much larger natural and divine economic order, which can be partly discerned in natural law. Second, it explains how these religious te…
The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Economic Ethics
This Handbook presents what world and regional religions teach about economic morality. It also compares the major religions, especially the Abrahamic faiths, in their positions on various social, business, and policy themes, such as feminism, competition, and the ecology, among others. The concluding chapter is an analytical synthesis that presents and explains the patterns that emerge from the various religions in this Handbook. Readers will fi…
Economic Justice
Christianity has had a long-standing interest in economic justice, rooted in its Scriptures, especially Old Testament prophets and the New Testament Gospels. It was taken up by the Church Fathers and the Scholastics, in their concern for the poor, just prices, and usury. Taking this concern to modern market economies is complicated but important. After all, globalization has resulted in rampant problems of materialism, consumerism, and individual…
Poverty, Work and Freedom
The Evolution of Social Ethics
In the development of Roman Catholic social thought from the teachings of the scholastics to the modern social encyclicals, changes in normative economics reflect the transformation of an economic terrain from its feudal roots to the modern industrial economy. The preeminence accorded by the modern market to the allocative over the distributive function of price broke the convenient convergence of commutative and distributive justice in scholasti…
Economic life, rights, and obligations
Even while acknowledging the autonomy of “laws” specific to economics, theology situates the view of economics as a “means-ends” science of human choices within an unavoidable overarching moral order. After all, economic life is merely part of a much larger personal quest for happiness. Thus, the efficient selection of means for particular ends necessarily takes place within the context of objective standards of economic rights and obligations as…

The role of maternal schooling and its interaction with public health programs in child health production
The interactive effects of mother's scholling and unsupplemented breastfeeding on child health
This paper estimates a non-linear relationship between duration of breastfeeding and child height-for-age. For this sample of children, health benefits from unsupplemented breastfeeding differ by mother's education, with children of less educated mothers deriving the most gains. These results suggest that more educated mothers are able to provide wholesome substitutes to breastmilk without producing ill effects. Results are sensitive to the estim…
