Review "Twenty-five years ago the U.S. Catholic bishops published a document on Catholic social teaching and the U.S. economy. A group of nine scholars look now at that document and its contents. They keep alive the concern the bishops had then for an economy that is centered on the development of the human person, and especially how it treats the least among us and permits them to participate. They note the current changes toward a global economy and the desire to extend the bishops concerns to the poor of the world. They analyze, challenge, and clarify where we are today and bring new light and insights to the world scene without losing sight of those who are most adversely affected. The book is certainly worth the read and is highly recommended." --Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland, OSB "This volume celebrates the 25th anniversary of Economic Justice for All, a notable pastoral letter of the U.S. bishops. The text is more than a worthy commemoration because Mark Allman has brought together a fine array of scholars who retrieve insights of the letter and develop excellent ethical reflections appropriate to our present economic situation."--Kenneth R.
