The Church and the Market

by Thomas E. Woods Jr. ·  2005
★★★★★Editor's Pickintermediate

Tom Woods makes the case that Austrian economics is not only compatible with Catholic social teaching — it actually provides the best economic framework for achieving the Church's social goals. He dismantles liberation theology's economics and defends free markets from a uniquely Catholic perspective.
