Editorial : Should be required reading for any university or seminary course in social sciences that is supposed to be grounded in Catholic social teaching. Woods puts his case with such rigor and lucidity that there is probably no other text that is more effective in supporting a discussion of the application of the Church's social teaching to specific economic issues. (Economic Affairs)
Woods' book is a welcome antidote to the various combinations of economic incompetence and self-righteous posturing - "liberation theology," New Deal welfarism, social democratic interventionism, distributism - that too often masquerade as the only "authentic" interpretations of Catholic social teaching. Every Catholic - and especially every Catholic bishop - ought to consider its arguments before speaking out on economic policy. (Edward Feser, Visiting Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University)
Thomas Woods uses the unique perspective of the Austrian
In The Church and the Market: A Catholic Defense of the Free Economy, Thomas E. Woods Jr. makes a vigorous argument in favor of the market economy from a Catholic perspective. Filling a lapse in the debate on the role of religious thought in economic theory, Woods's uncompromising position, informed by the history of Catholic economic thought, shows that the long-seen contradiction between Catholic faith and support for the market economy does not exist. With attention to detail on almost all aspects of the free market, from the Federal Reserve System and inflation to antitrust legislation and labor issues, this book provides essential background for anyone interested in balancing issues of social conscience with modern economic principles.
Well worth buying.. Especially intriguing are the discussions of "The Aspern Papers" and THE SACRED FOUNT, but perhaps I find them so compelling because these are two of my all-time favorite works by James. Be aware that it's only 48 pages in hardcover! It was originally published by Editions Carabas in Europe, but this particular version was released in the US by Dark Horse Comics (its first English translation). This heart-warming and meaningful story will appeal to children, mainly girls ages 7 - 10 years of age. Mira's Diary has lots of interesting, accessible information about late 19th century Paris and the prevailing attitudes during the Dreyfus Affair. There are guano islands in a number of places, including Angola and Mexico, and the US once pounced on guano islands thought to be available (we still own eight of them) because of the importance of guano to agriculture. I purchased this book for my daughter. Lots of interesting gullah culture! I wish I had more books by Ron Dais
