  1. 1. Toward A Truly Free Market

    A Distributist Perspective on the Role of Government, Business, and Civil Society

    A concise presentation of an economic vision grounded in human dignity and Catholic social teaching, the book critiques both unregulated capitalism and state socialism and argues for a market ordered to the common good through subsidiarity, moral formation, and a culture of responsible private property. It proposes institutional reforms—such as support for small-scale enterprise, cooperative and family ownership, credit associations, and legal protections for local economic autonomy—that align economic activity with vocation, solidarity, and the flourishing of persons and communities rather than mere profit maximization.
