Description

Book Synopsis
Filipe Maia offers a theological reflection on hope and the future in the context of financialized capitalism, arguing that the Christian vocabulary of hope can provide the means to build a future beyond the strictures of capitalism.

Trade Review
"In short scope and lucid prose, Felipe Maia’s Trading Futures makes a provocative argument about such fundamental topics as justice, capitalism, theology, and time. . . . Trading Futures effectively shows that agents of financial capitalism and theologians of liberation can differ profoundly in their orientations toward the future." -- Matthew Scherer * Perspectives On Politics *
