Caritas In Veritate by Pope Benedict XVI

On integral human development in charity and truth

A reflective social and moral teaching that argues authentic human development must be rooted in both love and truth, exploring how ethical principles should shape economics, politics, technology and the global response to poverty and environmental degradation; it emphasizes solidarity, subsidiarity and the common good while critiquing purely technocratic or market-driven approaches, calls for responsible stewardship of creation, just distribution, and respect for human dignity, and urges governments, businesses, and civil society to pursue sustainable, integral development guided by charity informed by reason and faith.
