"Just Money: How Catholic Social Teaching Can Redeem Capitalism"

This report, published by Theos (a "religion and society think tank") and written by Clifford Longley, will be of interest to many MOJ readers.  

The claim, from the Executive Summary, is that "neoliberalism" -- or "market fundamentalism" is a "false ideology that has to be confronted, in the name of sound economics and of humanity itself."  I am, I admit, skeptical that what the document calls "unchecked market fundamentalism" actually exists in laws or practice so I'm not sure how pressing the need actually is to confront it.  The paper seems (after an admittedly quick skim) to overstate some of its criticisms and to set up for demolition some familiar straw men ("Randians!").  That said, I also encountered some really nice statements about the Church's social teaching, the common good, human flourishing, subsidiarity and solidarity, etc. -- all matters that should be a part of discussions (it seems to me) about how to better order and regulate economic activity and affairs.  So . . . see what you think!
