Catholicism and the Morality of Markets: R.R. Reno and Fr Robert Sirico
Event Information
Description
Dr. R.R. Reno, Editor in Chief at First Things magazine, has recently raised questions about the potential harm of global capitalism and free markets, posing a subtle objection to the ability of a free market to facilitate a free and virtuous society. Father Robert Sirico, President and co-founder of the Acton Institute, maintains that a Christian society depends upon individual liberties and free market principles.
This moderated discussion will engage in important questions about free societies and human flourishing, and the economic structures that facilitate a virtuous society. Raising questions about Catholic social thought, capitalism, globalism, and more, this promise to be a very engaging conversation!
