Roshnee Ossewaarde-Lowtoo teaches in the Tilburg School of Catholic Theology and the Department of Systematic Theology and Philosophy at Tilburg University.
The defining challenge for the future of capitalism is the
commitment to human dignity. This enjoyable book offers a clear
structure for the basic notion of “why moral markets matter.” In
Reviving the Love for Economic Justice, Roshnee Ossewaarde-Lowtoo
explores in detail the interaction among conflicting values and
ideals, and love as the telos of human existence and an economy
based on connectedness.

We all know that the pursuit of wealth cannot be the overriding
purpose of a balanced society. But how do we overcome that
temptation, especially when it is deeply ingrained in a culture? In
Reviving the Love for Economic Justice, Roshnee Ossewaarde-Lowtoo
addresses this question and proposes ways to surmount the cultural
obstacles to justice and civic friendship.
*Paul van Geest, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Tilburg
University*
In modern discussions, justice is generally treated as a virtue of
laws or institutions. Roshnee Ossewaarde-Lowtoo disagrees. Drawing
on both classical and Christian sources, she makes an eloquent case
for thinking of justice as a personal virtue, inseparable from
civic friendship and love. This book will be compelling reading for
all those interested in the ethical framework of economic life.
