Can the Free Market promote more charity and social justice? We chat with Fr. Sirico
Published 11 years, 1 month ago
Description
Exactly the opposite is true, says Father Robert A. Sirico in his thoughtprovoking new book, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy. Father Sirico argues that a free economy actually promotes charity, selflessness, and kindness. And in Defending the Free Market, he shows why free-market capitalism is not only the best way to ensure individual success and national prosperity but is also the surest route to a moral and sociallyjust society. In Defending the Free Market, Father Sirico shows:
Why we can’t have freedom without a free economy
Why the best way to help the poor is to a start a business
Why charity worksbut welfare doesn't
How Father Sirico himself converted from being a leftist colleague of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden to recognizing the merits of a free economy.
