Don T Call Me Out of My Name Spirituality for the 21st Centurya Member of the Christian Left Speaks Out: Some Insights Into Social Analysis for Ordina

This book challenges the unwritten laws that dominate U.S. society creating great wealth and even greater poverty. Social (Structural) Analysis uncovers the hidden agenda behind this system of political economy that exploit the majority while enriching the few. Modern liberal economics holds the proverbial carrot in front of the worlds population while the real winners the multi-national banks and corporations reap scandalous profits. This political/economic monopoly treats the living earth as if it was a disposable resource and turns the majority of the worlds population into mere cogs in its machinery. Like a cancer if untreated it will destroy its host. Social analysis cannot cure this cancer but it can remove the rose-colored glasses from peoples eyes so that they can understand it.Free Market Capitalism has undoubted benefits. It becomes evil when it is a law unto itself. A system of political economy endowed with a wider vision and a more just definition of profits might evolve out of the dialogue between the mechanisms of Capitalism and the priorities of socialism. Such a system would allow all peoples to enjoy a decent life while preserving the integrity of the earth. Utopia the perfect society may never become a reality but we should never stop trying to implement it. Social analysis is a necessary first step towards a more just world.
