About PAPAL ECONOMICS: The Catholic Church On Democratic
Product Description Papal Economics corrects the record about one of the most importantbut least understoodauthorities on capitalism and democracy: the Catholic Church. Maciej Zieba, OPa leading interpreter of the thought of Pope John Paul IItakes readers on an enlightening tour through the Catholic Church’s social teaching on economics and governance.
