In every realm of life, the Christian ethics and moral orderthat powered the West to prosperity are under attack. Our new moralmentors have been telling us that there is no absolute right orwrong, that there are many gods, that ours is a chaotic universeand thus we need not regard the value of human life,self-discipline, or stewardship. But recent events have made usmore aware than ever of the corruption and the evil that existwithin our world. Sadly, these worldviews have seeped into ourwork, and it has cost us greatly as a civilation and asindividuals. The right course for Christians is to "earn our way back" to aplace of respect by taking care of the human problems that havebeen created by the secular humanistic agenda. The core beliefsthat made the Western world are Christian beliefs, and these mustbe restored and put back into practice today. This is the heart of Sir Fred Catherwood's message. He draws onhis vast experience in business and international politics to showhow vital Christian morality is to our work, our handling of money,and even in the international scheme of things. As he discusses theglobal economy and the effects of e-commerce on it, the role ofgovernments and politics, and the leadership qualities that areneeded to help recover the Christian virtues throughout society, healso communicates the consequences we suffer when we neglect thosevirtues. You'll find this book to be a biblically minded guide tounderstanding the essentials of economics and how Christian beliefscan be integrated into the commercial world.
