Synopsis

Faith and Fairness offers a practical path for using Christian ethics to reform politics and reduce inequality in cities.

Drawing on historical ideas and contemporary reform proposals, this volume argues that politics should serve justice and the common good. It surveys reforms such as proportional representation, direct legislation, secret ballots, and civil service reform, showing how they can empower voters and leaders to tackle urban challenges without falling into partisan gridlock.

Readers will find a clear case for reconnecting faith with public life and for building institutions that reflect both moral responsibility and democratic efficiency. The book presents a framework for reform that blends ethical reflection with concrete political mechanisms.

• Explains how wealth distribution shapes social problems in cities
• Explains reforms that can de‑risk policy and broaden participation
• Provides a grounded look at how ethics can guide practical governance
• Offers a vision for a more inclusive, effective public sphere

Ideal for readers interested in how Christian ethics can influence policy, urban reform, and democratic practice.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
