The Promise of Social Enterprise

Exploring the intersection of social enterprise and theology, this book questions whether social enterprise represents market expansion or a genuine solution to societal challenges. It emphasizes the importance of language in framing social enterprise, advocating for a shift from mainstream economic logic to one rooted in gift and mutuality. Drawing on theological insights from Pope Benedict XVI and John Barclay, it highlights how a theology of gift can enrich both the theory and practice of social enterprise, promoting a faithful economic practice.
