Frequently, newspaper headlines announce new extreme bonuses for corporate executives; and most of us snap in anger and, maybe also, envy: ”That simply isn’t fair!” But isn’t economic inequality simply a part of life, yes, even a necessary driver for economic growth and human flourishing? Yet, if so, how much inequality can be economically justified – globally and nationally? And is there something like economic justice, at all?

These are the questions that will be discussed by the two experienced economists, Andrew Hartropp (UK) and Niels Kærgård (DK). They will enrich the general discussion of this topic by considering the possible resources found in Christianity as regards economics and justice.

Rev. Dr Andrew Hartropp is an economist, theologian and church minister.  He has two PhDs, one in Economics (University of Southampton) and one in Christian Ethics (King’s College, London).  He lectured in financial economics for 5 years at Brunel University, west London. He has published widely on topics in Christianity and Economics, including What is Economic Justice? Biblical and secular perspectives contrasted and most recently God’s Good Economy: Doing economic justice in today’s world.

Dr. Niels Kærgård is professor emeritus of agricultural economics at the Department of Food and Resource Economics (University of Copenhagen). He is the former chairman of the presidency of the Danish Board of Economic Advisors (”overvismand”). He has also been a board member University of Copenhagen, the Carlsberg Foundation and the Carlsberg Brewery. He has published widely in both academic and wider contexts.

Kirke og teologi involverer sig i økonomi

Fyraftens-seminar med Andrew Hartropp (UK)

12. november 2019, kl. 15.00-17.30

Andrew Hartropp har ph.d.-grader i både teologi og økonomi og har specialiseret sig i forholdet mellem disse to discipliner og praksisser.

Ved dette seminar vil han sammen med deltagerne drøfte følgende spørgsmål:

Alle med en kvalificeret interesse i disse spørgsmål er velkomne til at deltage i seminaret.

Seminaret afholdes med baggrund i udgivelsen Økonomi og Kristendom: Hvad Guds er… (Eksistensen 2019), redigeret af undertegnede m.fl.
