Viewpoint of an Activist on Social Justice
|
Dr. Tamari's book was an inspiring and illuminating read for me. My interests were both in (1)"jewish tradition and law", as relevant to question's of community economics and (2) in a better understanding of the traditional jewish view on social justice and ethics, as that interplays with economics. I was not looking for any sort of introduction to "economic theory" or even "jewish economic theory" (see the Ryan review).
As a practicing Jew I learned some additional historical and traditional detail of which I was unaware, relating to economic issues of Jews individually and as communities. I found the discussion of Jewish economics relevant to issues in my own modern life, issues with which I have been actively dealing.
I also learned (as was my original intention) relevant to my own professional interest in "social justice" (health care justice in particular, as it happens). I am sure this book will be valued by activists in environmental and social justice issues, who are for any reason interested in the basis in religious traditions for confronting such issues (or interested just in the jewish basis for some reason).
There must be a lot of people wondering today what the connections are between economic life (both national structure and in personal everyday economics) and a traditional ethical stance of any persuasion. They will find this book interesting. |
