This book is a study of potential, perceived, and real conflicts and similarities between market economics and Jewish social justice. The book's ultimate focus is on public policy issues.

Subsequent chapters analyze public policy issues from both market economics and Jewish social justice perspectives, discussing conflicts, and if, they exist, similarities. .
