"Catholic Social Teaching and the Market Economy" provides a rigorous yet accessible discussion on the interrelating discipline of Catholic social teaching and economics. Philip Booth shows both how economics can have an effect on Catholic social teaching and how Catholicism itself can affect economic policies. A wide range of topics are discussed, including the government; wages; welfare; trade; education; and the Catholic social tradition. The book is thoroughly referenced with contributions from leading international academics, and will appeal to both academics and students of economics and theology.
