Driven by Hope focuses on the central human experience of hope.
In particular, it seeks to further a dialogue on this theme between
theology and economics – but it also contains input from philosophy and
psychology. The volume is the result of an international conference on
the theme. The first chapter describes hope as a phenomenon with seven
dimensions – it also introduces the Hopebarometer 1.0, a psychometric
instrument to measure these dimensions. The other thirteen chapters of
the book are grouped in three parts. The first part, ‘Economic
Perspectives’, focuses on the question how the study of hope can be
appropriated more fully in the discipline of economics. The second part,
‘Theological Perspectives’, investigates hope from a theological point
of view, and seeks to integrate this with an economic understanding of
hope. The third and last part, ‘Case Studies’, focuses on the role of
hope in specific practices.
