So what does the Catholic Church
have to say that could assist the general effort to restore sanity to
the economy? The Church's teaching on society has been described as one
of its best-kept secrets. This body of ideas has been developed in
response to the social problems of modern times, and is starting to come
into its own.
In this new publication, Edward
Hadas, Catholic author and financial journalist, looks at questions to
do with morality and the markets, and offers some sane and stimulating
answers.
Is there such a thing as greed in
the financial markets?
Why are banks far less regulated
than passenger jets, even though far more lives are destroyed when one
fails?
How does human effort and enterprise
create wealth? And how is the banking system the foundation for this?
What common-sense rules have the
bankers been ignoring for too long?
Hadas concludes with 'A Moralist
Manifesto', to suggest a way forward.
