One voice on Ched Myers, “Pay Attention to the Great Economy! Reflections on Luke 12:13-34, Earth Cosmology and Sabbath Economics”, a talk to the Maryknoll Forum on Faith, Economy and Ecology, Washington DC, 2-3 May 2009 (unpublished). Opens with a short recap of episode 5. About forty-five minutes.
Covered: who Myers is and his link to Gottwald; the moment after the 2008 crash; the Accra Confession; Tönnies, Polanyi, Wendell Berry’s two economies and Hazel Henderson’s cake; the manna of Exodus 16 and its three instructions; Luke 12 read in two halves; the inheritance dispute, pleonexia, possessions through Luke; the rich fool and where his land came from; the ravens, the lilies and Solomon’s temple; who is the fool; sell and give; where your treasure is. Closes with Gottwald on parables, the guild’s objections, the ecological turn and Laudato Si, and the thread back to Chaney.
