When we start with the wrong question, no matter how good an answer we get, it won`t give us the result we want. Rather than asking, `When will this economic crisis be over?` Jim Wallis says the right question to ask is `How will this crisis change us?`. The worst thing we can do now, Wallis tells us, is to go back to normal. Normal is what got us into this situation. We need a new normal, and now, in the midst of a crisis affecting every part of society, is the time to discover it. These are some of the principles Wallis suggests we should consider
-Spending money we don`t have on things we don`t need is a bad foundation for an economy or a family
-It`s time to stop keeping up with the Joneses and start making sure the Joneses are okay
-The values of adverts and billboards are not the things we want to teach our children
-Caring for the poor is not just a moral duty but is critical for the common good
-A healthy society is a balanced society in which markets, the government, and our communities all play a role
-The operating principle of God`s economy says that there is enough if we share it
In REDISCOVERING VALUES, Wallis equips us with a new moral compass for the future – one that draws on some of our oldest and best values and one that will guide us in the City, our towns and our neighbourhoods.
