Social Justice of the Free Market

[Bubba_Switzler]

Father Sirico has a new book out, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy.

I look forward to digesting his arguments in more detail.

Here also is an interview:

I wonder how it relates to Tom Woods’ The Church and the Market: A Catholic Defense of the Free Economy (Studies in Ethics and Economics)

I have read both books. Thomas Woods book is more scholarly I would say. It is a little bit of a harder read, but more in-depth. Fr. Robert Sirico’s I would say is shorter and written more elegantly and more personal. They are both good. If you would suggest them to someone. I would give them “Defending the Free Market” first and then if they wanted to know more, I would hand them Thomas Woods book. They both know each other and Thomas Wood’s book was part of a series by the Acton Institute. Which is the free-market think tank Fr. Robert Sirico started.
