SUMMARY:Rethinking Economic Inequality: a Theological Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This event is free and open to the public. For more information\, contact info@lumenchristi.org.  \nThis event is co-presented by the Catholic Research Economists Discussion Organization (CREDO) and cosponsored by the In Lumine Network and Catholics at Booth. This event is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation.  \nSecular discourse about the problem of economic inequality rests on two foundational premises that are problematic from a theological point of view. First\, individuals enter into society with the aim of bettering their own condition. Second\, bettering one’s own condition entails accruing more wealth and power so that one can fulfill more of one’s desires. \nIn this event\, Mary Hirschfeld will present on how market behavior shaped by the premises described above can promote economic inequality. Can ethical responses to the problem of economic inequality promote justice without challenging these assumptions? How do we find a theological response to the problem of economic inequality? How does genuine human flourishing depend on communal ties and the higher human goods that material wealth is properly meant to support? Join us for this lecture as we unpack the answers to these questions. \nA response will follow from Amir Sufi\, Bruce Lindsay Professor of Economics and Public Policy.
