"With an astute use of economics uncommon in theology, Christina McRorie traces economic ethics to spirituality within a sacramental ontology. Resisting extremes, she superbly identifies which characteristics of markets need to be restrained to limit their sinful impact and which should be enhanced so economic life better participates in God's gift of grace."?Daniel K. Finn, professor emeritus of theology and economics, St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict

"In The World of Markets, McRorie offers a framework for moral reflection on markets premised not on the question of whether markets are good, but rather when markets are good. The resulting analysis offers a nuanced and insightful engagement with the moral strengths and weaknesses of our current economic system. Highly recommended."?Mary L. Hirschfeld, John T. Ryan Jr. Associate Professor of Theology and Business Ethics, University of Notre Dame

"In a literature that is too often polarized, McRorie sets a new bar for careful scholarship. She masterfully integrates a breadth of insights from theology and economics, but also from sociology and history. Even more, her framework for thinking about markets as morally formative social spaces puts her work at the cutting edge of theological literature and is eminently useful for thinking through contemporary problems. This is my new go-to book in economics and theology."?Steve McMullen, professor of economics, Hope College

"With elegance and rigor, McRorie not only illuminates a Christian perspective on markets beyond tired binaries of celebration or denunciation but also makes the case for human interaction as a potential mediator of God's grace, urging ethicists to attend to the role of grace in the virtuous life."?Kate Ward, author, Wealth, Virtue, and Moral Luck

"In The World of Markets, Christina McRorie eschews simplistic judgments on contemporary economic life as either wholly good or bad. Instead, through combining empirical insight with a theologically textured, sacramental imagination that draws on Catholic social teaching, she offers a nuanced account of markets as morally formative worlds all while opening new paths for faithful economic engagement. An important contribution to both contemporary moral theology and economic ethics."?Luke Bretherton, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, University of Oxford
