{"product_id":"the-promise-of-social-enterprise-mark-sampson-9781725293960","title":"The Promise of Social Enterprise","description":"Is social enterprise yet another example of the expansion of the market into all areas of life and society, in this case the marketization of poverty? Or does it offer genuine hope as part of a solution to some of the challenges facing contemporary society, and as an example of an economy of mutuality? Framing this question theologically, does it offer the potential of \"\"faithful economic practice\"\"? The Promise of Social Enterprise makes the case that how we answer this depends on the language we use to describe--and perform--social enterprise. Arguing for the need to move beyond the narrow and reductionistic logic of mainstream economics, the economic nature of the language of gift and mutuality is explored. Drawing on the theological framework of Pope Benedict XVI and the work of John Barclay on Paul's understanding of the social implications of the Christ-gift, this book considers the contribution that a theology of gift, with its incongruity and mutuality, makes to the theory and practice of social enterprise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Sampson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 172529396X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781725293960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Mark Sampson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079888662783,"sku":"9781725293960","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b745a077-7857-4e60-8763-4bc6644b4c8f.jpg?v=1685483733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-promise-of-social-enterprise-mark-sampson-9781725293960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
