One of the privileges of managing the Values & Capitalism project is regularly encountering thoughtful blogging from writers I respect.

Holidays and family go together like red and green: Even if you hate the combination, it's a classic. Family is also something I think about a lot outside of the holidays because, as a young married mother, I'm not only trying to decide what ours should be like, but I'm also trying to corral myself into acting the way I should to make life the way it should be for my kids. To put it cheaply, it's hard. 1 Comment |

The debate over the interplay (or apparent conflict) between values and capitalism is one with both theoretical and practical applications. It raises questions of whether maximizing value in the marketplace is inherently immoral, or whether profit-driven international development dilutes the true purpose of development work. 2 Comments |
