The Market as God

In "Market as God," renowned author Harvey Cox delves into the profound implications of the market's self-deification. Published in 2019, this compelling book spans 320 pages and offers a thought-provoking analysis of how the market has come to dominate our lives, often overshadowing moral and ethical considerations. Cox argues that the escalating challenges we face—such as widening inequality, a rapidly warming planet, and the injustices of global poverty—are exacerbated by the market's elevated status. By exploring the journey of the market to its divine throne, Cox provides insights on how we can reclaim it as a servant of humanity rather than its master. This essential read is a must for those interested in the intersections of economics, ethics, and social justice.
