The Political Economy of Liberation

Engaging the contrasting perspectives of James Cone and Thomas Sowell, this book explores the intersection of theology and economics in the pursuit of African American liberation. It highlights how Sowell's secular economic views resonate with classical Christian thought, while Cone's liberation theology offers a different approach. By fostering dialogue between a black economist and a theologian, the work aims to synthesize their insights for the economic sustainability of the black community, addressing themes of poverty, human dignity, and justice in innovative ways.
