Good Business: Catholic Social Teaching at Work in the Marketplace
Anselm Academic
“Good Business: Catholic Social Teaching at Work in the Marketplace examines eight themes of Catholic social teaching—human dignity, common good, stewardship, option for the poor, economic justice, subsidiarity, solidarity, and rights and responsibilities—and how they apply to contemporary business practices and critical issues in today’s global economy. Written for undergraduates, the book features case studies and discussion questions that guide learners toward practical application of the concepts in the real world.”
