This volume looks at the intersection between religion and cooperative economics through the lens of economic justice. It covers world religious traditions and gives particular focus to cooperative organization, the social and economic problems of capitalism, and the earliest Christian tradition of the Jesus movement. It also examines religious and theological discourse in contemporary defenses of neoliberal capitalism and contemporary advocates of cooperatives. The book serves to unfold both how and why cooperative economics can and should supplant traditional employer-employee relationships (a pillar of modern capitalism) and revive interest in cooperation, worker solidarity, and significant social and political reforms.
