If money troubles your soul, try this down-to-earth Quaker perspective on economies large and small. The economy, as we usually encounter it, has nothing to do with values or faith. After all, the "invisible hand" caters to no religious belief. It is all a matter of science, we are assured: economists have mastered the mathematical formulas for growth and prosperity. Our role as individuals is simply to work, consume and save, each adding our bit to the sum totals of economic activity that will keep the system humming along; the experts will take care of everything else. This breezy values-free story, however, is unlikely to be a comfortable fit for anyone who takes seriously the challenge of bringing our faith into the world. Knotty issues around economics crop up at every turn, especially if we are willing to ask the big questions: What is the economy for? How much is enough? What needs to be equal? How is well-being best measured? Who should decide? In Money and Soul this search for answers, through a Quaker lens, gives a taste of the power of applying faith values to our economic story.… (mer)

Economic issues pervade Quaker testimonies. Quakers value equality, yet see economic inequality increasing dramatically. They value integrity, yet the economic system has no place for conscience. They value simplicity, yet the growth economy requires ever-increasing consumption. They value community, yet society throws out those on the margins. They value stewardship, yet society is running through finite resources at an alarming rate. They value peace, yet the violence and devastation caused by the economic system’s exploitation of people and the planet is tragic. This is a walk through the Quaker testimonies with particular attention to the economic system.

When economics and ethics are discussed, they seem inevitably to attract a complicated and abstract prose, But Pamela Haines has presented them here in an accessible manner reminiscent of relaxed fireside conversation with a thoughtful Quaker friend.

She questions the function of economies, reflects on how much is enough, and examines the parameters used to measure our well-being. She shows how radically different solutions can be found to these questions when considered through the lens of faith-based values.

Money and Soul explores our troubled relationship with money, with finance, and with the economic system in which we are all entangled. It invites readers to consider how childhood experiences with money can shape attitudes, and how attention to individual conscience and shared Quaker values can illuminate big finance and economics questions that lie in the shadows, but cry out for more light. The pamphlet offers a brief sketch of how our political economy has shifted since the late 1970s from a concern for common welfare to a focus on private gain, and offers suggestions, using the framework of the testimonies, for ways that Friends can bring personal practices around money and personal witness around the economy into closer alignment with faith values. This is an invitation to those for whom finance and economics may seem like a closed book to find new openings for discernment and action. Discussion questions included.
