Publisher's Synopsis
The authors of this book apply their considerable expertise and use Catholic social thought and teaching to address the contemporary challenges we face. In general, the authors argue that a rightly ordered business economy with strong, Catholic-inspired, provision of healthcare and education is a necessary requirement for prosperity and well-being. Underpinning economic life must be a thriving civil society and good governance, including peace, high levels of trust and low levels of corruption. Developing these themes, the authors of this book - all experts in economics, theology or both - apply the wisdom of Catholic social thought and teaching to domestic and international public policy challenges to show how we can realize a better world.
