Jewish source texts wrestle with many of the same economic concerns that occupy the contemporary public square: income inequality, structural unemployment, instability, rampant financial fraud
and spiraling personal debt. The Just Market: Torah’s Response to the Crisis of the Modern Economy identifies six foundations of ancient Jewish economic policy and explores their application to
the modern world: • Access to the Necessities of Life • Universal Employment Opportunity • A Level Playing Field • Commercial and Promotional Integrity • Respect for Labor • Sabbatical Values
Just Market values respect competition. But they also represent a culture of economic justice that prioritizes employment opportunity and universal access to human needs. The Just Market
addresses those issues by weaving Jewish source texts, their six underlying economic principles, social justice values and contemporary policy analysis into a compelling modern paradigm.
