Pally, Marcia

Commonwealth and Covenant Economics, Politics, and Theologies of Relationality Marcia Pally - U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans Pub. Co. 2016 - 419tr. paperback, illustrations 23 cm

In Commonwealth and Covenant Marcia Pally argues that in order to address current socioeconomic problems, we need not more economic formulas but rather a better understanding of how the world is set up - an ontology of how we and the world work. Without this, good proposals that arise lack political will and go unimplemented. Pally describes our basic setup as ""separability-amid-situatedness"" or ""distinction-amid-relation.""... Maintaining that separability and situatedness can and must be considered together in public policy, Pally draws on intellectual history, philosophy, and - especially - historic Christian and Jewish theologies of relationality to construct a new framework for addressing present economic and political ills.
