Description

This long-discredited economic philosophy is making a comeback among some Catholics. Trent Horn and Catherine R. Pakaluk argue that Catholicism and socialism are incompatible, drawing on Scripture, history, Catholic social teaching, and basic economic reality to make their case.

They debunk common claims used to justify a Christian-socialist hybrid, including the idea that Jesus would support an economic system guaranteeing everyone's basic needs. Instead, Horn and Pakaluk show how commonsense economic principles can be aligned with Catholic values, fostering prosperity and the common good while promoting temperance and charity.

By examining the relationship between Catholicism and socialism, this book provides a clear understanding of the underlying principles that guide Christian economic thought.
