Description
This work stands out as a lucid and down-to-earth application of the Church's social doctrine to specific issues that affect the nation and the entire international community.
The first part of this book helps the reader acquire a good grasp of fundamental topics on social ethics, such as the nature of the Church's social doctrine, the meaning of the common good, as well as the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity.
The second part clearly points out the ethical dimension of highly-relevant issues, highlighted by actual facts and figures. Here we have a meaningful discussion of the international debt problem, protectionism, capitalism, private enterprise, privatization, wealth and income distribution, development and liberation, the arms race and ecology, as well as varied topics related to the family and the school, property, and human work-all within the context of the common good.
