除非能建立經濟上的民主，否則不會有真正政治上的民主。—美國前總統 西奧多‧羅斯福▶ 人類消耗的自然資源是地球再生能力的1.5倍以上；▶ 土壤持續衰竭，已經摧毀了地球上1/3的可耕地；▶ 1970年以來，將近2/3的脊椎動物已經從地球上消失；▶ 我們的社會早已經政治民主化，卻還沒有經濟民主化。我們現有的經濟制度設計來自1％的菁英，為1％的人服務。在追求「利潤最大化」並鼓勵「大量生產、大量消費」的結果——租金高漲、零工經濟當道、更多碳排放……不僅讓我們絕大多數人失望，而且還切實地在摧毀我們的星球。但是，我們並非「別無選擇」——共享經濟，再生經濟，影響力投資者，合作社，B型企業，S型企業，公益公司……這些「世界上最棒的公司」，正在美國三十四洲、全世界六十多個國家興起。★ 現有的體制源於我們「對於現實世界的社會共識」...

This book argues that for John Howard Yoder both theology (in particular Christology) and ethics are expressions of the meaning of the narrative of Jesus. All such statements are relative to a particular context, which means that theology and ethics are always subject to reaching back to the narrative in order to restate the meaning in new and ever-changing contexts. This methodology is visible in Yoder's Preface to Theology, which has been little used in most treatments of Yoder's thought...

Much of American popular culture depicts the 1930s South either as home to a population that was intellectually, morally, and physically stunted, or as a romantic, sentimentalized haven untouched by the nation’s financial troubles. Though these images stand as polar opposites, each casts the South as an exceptional region that stood separate from American norms. Reassessing the 1930s South brings together historians, art critics, and literary scholars to provide a new social and c...
