The crisis that we are living is not only economic or financial. It collides with the model of development that we have followed for the last two centuries, pushing us to a new and radical reflection on capitalism. From different disciplines - economy, politics and theology - the authors outline a way of reading the profound reasons for the crisis. Though recognizing the goodness of the market´s values, they single out the concept of going beyond the economic culture founded on individual-centeredness and profit outside of the rules, and that of returning to an economy of the ethics and values of gratuitousness and reciprocity as the way out of the current situation.
