""At last! Beyond celebrating King's dream of civil rights, here is a critical and constructive analysis of King's call for economic rights. Michael Greene has a PhD in religious ethics, and another PhD in economics. Accordingly, Greene links King's theological ethics to King's economic prescriptions for 'the total, direct, and immediate abolition of poverty.' For the first time, a religious-ethicist-economist, in dialogue with the work of other economists, seriously considers King's economic prescriptions."" --Theodore Walker Jr., Associate Professor of Ethics and Society, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University ""With a keen sense of economics and ethics, Greene has produced a text that resurrects, fleshes out, and systematizes King's Beloved Community for the twenty-first century!"" --Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas, Associate Professor of Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt University Divinity School ""Greene pushes aside the false choices that prevail in current economic justice debates. . . . He rescues us from our current dead ends and our loss of confidence in pragmatic progressive change. This work is a must-read for noneconomists who still strive for King's Beloved Community. We shall overcome, and Greene shows us how."" --Darryl M. Trimiew, past president of the Society of Christian Ethics
