Description
Economist Anthony Waterman gives an engrossing historical perspective of the Catholic Church's varied responses to capitalism through a discussion of papal edicts. The lecture traces how the responses have changed from a more socialist perspective, arguably in line with gospel teaching, to a view that gives greater support for economic liberalism which is the free market perspective we live with today. The lecture is followed by a lively discussion.
