A theological map of markets as ambiguous—and improvable—moral contexts
Do markets corrupt us, or support our character? They do both, argues Christina McRorie in The World of Markets . She engages empirical research on economic decision-making to identify both the conditions under which markets encourage selfish and opportunistic behaviors and those under which markets do the opposite, encouraging just and even generous actions. This influence over our decisions suggests that markets may also shape our agency itself, over time. How should Christians make theological sense of this?
Highlighting the tensions woven into the theological concept of "the world"—given that it is beloved by God and yet also a dangerous realm of moral darkness— The World of Markets builds a case for viewing markets as ambiguous worlds that mediate both sin and grace in our daily lives by influencing our moral agency. In light of God's own love for the world, it proposes that Christians are called to approach markets with an attitude that balances critique with appreciation and to collaborate with others to make markets more grace-filled contexts. Toward this end, The World of Markets identifies concrete ways that markets can become a world where it is easier to be good.
