Ethics and Economics

Canada's Catholic Bishops on the Economic Crisis

by Gregory Baum and Duncan Cameron

A valuable introduction to the host of issues raised by the most-discussed political document of recent years.

GREGORY BAUM, a Catholic theologian with a world-wide reputation, explains the theological basis for The 1983 New Year's Statement, and shows that it is not a radical evolution of Catholic social teaching.  Political economist DUNCAN CAMERON examines the validity of the bishops' critique, exploring such critical issues as unemployment and inflation.

Together, they provide a valuable introduction to the host of issues raised by the most-discussed political document of recent years.
