The Making of an Economic Vision: John Paul II’s On Social Concern

How do we realize economic justice in our global society? What is economic justice? Are materialism, consumerism and capitalism a threat or a promise to a peaceful earth? This book considers whether the religious teaching in Pope John Paul II’s On Social Concern , in which these issues are addressed, is in such contrast to the prevailing wisdom of political economy that it might properly be called counter-cultural, and whether it offers a new vision.
