Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
The Church and the Market is a vigorous and lively defense of the market economy and a withering attack on all forms of state intervention. It covers labor unions, monopoly, money and banking, business cycles, interest, usury, and much more. Although it makes a particular point of noting the moral arguments of the market economy and that Catholics are of course perfectly at liberty to support it, its audience is much broader than Catholics alone. Readers of all religious traditions and none at all have praised The Church and the Market, first-place winner in the 2006 Templeton Enterprise Awards, as one of the most compelling and persuasive defenses of capitalism against its critics ever written.
Synopsis
In the revised edition of the 2006 Templeton Enterprise Award-winning The Church and the Market: A Catholic Defense of the Free Economy, Tom Woods makes a compelling case for the free market-- and why Catholics should support it-- in this sweeping polemic. Covering everything from labor unions to monopoly to money and banking, The Church and the Market is the economics course you never had, except interesting.
