- Summary:
- Clarke (Deakin U., Australia) investigates how the world's major religions understand economic development in their sacred texts and social teaching, and how this is put into practice by affiliated development-focused agencies. He looks at the religion-development nexus, Hinduism: dharma and active citizenship, Buddhism: a middle way for development, Judaism: a cry for justice, Christianity: development as an option for the poor, and Islam: equality and action.
