Episode: "Exploitive & Predatory": Debt & Economic Justice
Description: Chapter 16 of the Gospel of Luke contains what has been called one of Jesus' "strangest parables," a tale of a rich man with a clever manager, who wiggles his way out of economic and social ruin. Rather than speeding by the economic aspects of this story, we can use it as an opportunity to both better understand how debt and economic justice often go hand in hand (then and now) and better act to create societies where people's lives are valued for their humanity, and not for their potential to be exploited for profit.
