About this ebook

Late modern pluralistic societies are characterized by an infinitely multi-coloured individuality of their citizens and a wealth of associations and groups. This "plurality", which is difficult to grasp, is welcomed by many people as a source of freedom, but feared by others inside and by many observers outside as social chaos. However, this plurality is countered by a limited number of so-called "social systems", which are to a large extent characterized by organizational, institutional and normative structures and weight.
In the theoretical, empirical, and historical contributions to this volume, theologians, economists and market practitioners discuss the many tensions between market economics, ethics and the Christian religion, thus adding to the fruitful and much needed dialogue between economics and theology.

[Der Einfluss des Marktes auf Charakterbildung, ethische Erziehung und Kommunikation von Werten in spätmodernen pluralistischen Gesellschaften]
Spätmoderne pluralistische Gesellschaften sind von einer unendlich vielfarbigen Individualität ihrer Bürger und einer Fülle von Zusammenschlüssen und Gruppierungen geprägt. Diese schwer zu fassende "Pluralität" wird von vielen Menschen als Quellgrund der Freiheit begrüßt, von manchen Innenstehenden und vielen Außenstehenden aber auch als soziales Chaos gefürchtet. Doch dieser Pluralität steht eine begrenzte Zahl von sogenannten "sozialen Systemen" gegenüber, die in hohem Maße organisatorisch, institutionell und normativ geprägt sind.
In den theoretischen, empirischen und historischen Beiträgen dieses Bandes setzen sich Theologen, Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Praktiker aus dem kaufmännischen Bereich mit dem Spannungsfeld zwischen Marktwirtschaft, Ethik und Theologie auseinander und tragen so zu dem dringend notwendigen Dialog zwischen Wirtschaft und Religion bei.
