The Dangers of the mindset of X Economic System improves the lives of the poor so we don't need to regulate it

I am particularly interested in the orginal sources for all this modern-day commentary, if you happen to know of which Late Scholastics wrote and the names of the works which deal with economics, if you happen to know?

Faith and Liberty: The Economic Thought of the Late Scholastics (Studies in Ethics and Economics, 2003), by Dr Alejandro Chafuen gives titles and authors of works from the 15th and 16th centuries.

This article may be of interest:
Moral and Power in Market Exchanges: The Neglected Contribution of Scholasticism. European Journal of the History of Economic Thought 13.1: 99– 112.

Economics and Ethics: Juan de Lugo’s Theory of the Just Price, or the Responsibility of Living in Society

it doesn’t seem that their vision of an ideal economy looks at all like Dr Woods’s

As Dr Woods lauds the Late Scholastics and his How The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization has been “highly recommended” by Dr Alice von Hildebrand, and his *The Church and the Market *has been “highly recommended” by Dr William R Luckey, both reviewers being faithful Catholic scholars, the import is rather clear for all – study and learn what is so appreciated by stalwarts.

The conclusion so succinctly stated by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI needs to be appreciated: “Society does not have to protect itself from the market, as if the development of the latter were ipso facto to entail the death of authentically human relations…Therefore it is not the instrument that must be called to account, but individuals, their moral conscience and their personal and social responsibility.” (Caritas et Veritate, Benedict XVI, 2009, #36).

I have yet to meet a capitalist or conservative who said there should be no regulation or government.

Be ware of those who put words in others mouths to advance their own agenda! :yup:
