Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“The wide range of authors and the variety of approaches, from analysis of literature and critique of limitations of one or another position, to reports on actual development work in different parts of the world, make it a rich compendium contributing to an important conversation between Catholic social teaching and the capability approach.” —Patrick Riordan, S.J., author of Recovering Common Goods
"This is a book to borrow and relish. ...It wrestles thoughtfully with an issue that should concern us all in a pluralistic world that faces very serious, human-induced, global challenges." — Church Times
