Barbara Ward

Barbara Mary Ward, Baroness Jackson of Lodsworth, (23 May 1914 – 31 May 1981) was a British economist and writer interested in the problems of developing countries. She urged Western governments to share their prosperity with the rest of the world and in the 1960s turned her attention to environmental questions as well.

Ward was adviser to policymakers in the UK, United States and elsewhere. She was the founder of the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).

Description

"In this book, David Burrell, one of the foremost philosophical theologians in the English-speaking world, presents the culmination of his work on creation and human freedom. Drawing on his philosophical and theological insights from the last 20 years, he develops an integrated argument with far-reaching consequences for capitalist cultures." "Engaging with the Islamic, Judaic, and Christian traditions, and with modern as well as classical systems of thought, Burrell dismantles the "libertarian" approach to freedom that dominates Western politics and economics, proposing that alongside freedom of choice we need freedom of consent."--BOOK JACKET.
