Full Description

Driven by Hope focuses on the central human experience of hope.
In particular, it seeks to further a dialogue on this theme between
theology and economics - but it also contains input from philosophy and
psychology. The volume is the result of an international conference on
the theme. The first chapter describes hope as a phenomenon with seven
dimensions - it also introduces the Hopebarometer 1.0, a psychometric
instrument to measure these dimensions. The other thirteen chapters of
the book are grouped in three parts. The first part, `Economic
Perspectives', focuses on the question how the study of hope can be
appropriated more fully in the discipline of economics. The second part,
`Theological Perspectives', investigates hope from a theological point
of view, and seeks to integrate this with an economic understanding of
hope. The third and last part, `Case Studies', focuses on the role of
hope in specific practices.
