Books by Albino (Providence College Barrera

The marketplace is a remarkable social institution that has greatly extended our individual reach. In this book, Albino Barrera examines our own moral responsibilities for the distant harms of our market transactions, identifying how the market's division of labour makes us unwitting collaborators in others' wrongdoing and in collective ills.

Markets can often be harsh in compelling people to make unpalatable economic choices any reasonable person would not take under normal conditions. In this book Albino Barrera argues that Christian thought on economic security offers an effective framework within which to address the consequences of economic compulsion.
