xiv, 359 pages ; 24 cm, \"The overriding theme of this book is that the original unity of distributive and corrective justice that prevailed in both economics and moral discourse until the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was shattered by the rise of an \"individualistic\" capitalism that relied on corrective justice (justice in exchange) only. An economics that lacks a distributive principle will attain neither equity nor equilibrium and will be inherently unstable and increasingly reliant on government power (Keynesianism) to correct the balances. Catholic social teaching emphasizes equity in the distribution of land, the means of production, and a just wage.
