This service will introduce the concept of economic inequality and its shocking rise. Morally, it is perplexing given the principles in some of the world’s largest faiths. I will describe some of the forces unleashed by neoliberalism, a form of capitalism, since the 1980s. Ending on a hopeful note, we will bring the issue closer to home by listing several organizations working toward economic justice in Philadelphia.

This is a pre-recorded sermon from First Unitarian Church, Philadelphia, June 29, 2024. We will gather in-person and on Zoom to watch together!

Dr. Deb Figart is a Professor of Economics, Stockton University.
