Recenzii
"It is a welcome contribution to a growing body of scholarship that seeks to appreciate more fully the connection between our relationship with God and our work in the market..." -- Fr Robert A Sirico, President, The Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty. "The writers do not deny the tensions between faith and commerce, but seek to show they are exactly that: tensions, rather than irreconcilable contradictions. They pave a path to a genuine business ethics..." -- Alexei M Marcoux, Graduate School of Business, Loyola University, Chicago.
