Evil men will take more and add less to the barn of the common goods.
-Francisco de Vitoria (c. 1480–1546)

Economics Christianity's Free-Market Tradition

Some of my Christian friends are suspicious of my interest in economics. They see economics as a product of Enlightenment rationalism, along with deism, atheism, the chaos of the French Revolution and other un-Christian aspects of the modern age.

So I am greatly pleased to be able to direct them to the just reissued edition of Alejandro A. Chafuen's Faith and Liberty: The Economic Thought of the Late Scholastics.
