This book is a study of potential, perceived, and real conflicts and similarities between market economics and Jewish social justice. The book's ultimate focus is on public policy issues. In the first two chapters, the author presents the conceptual and theoretical foundations of market economics and Jewish social justice. Subsequent chapters analyze minimum wage, immigration, climate change, and usury from both market economics and Jewish social justice perspectives, discussing conflicts, and, if they exist, similarities.

Nancy Ruth Fox is Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Saint Joseph's University, USA.
