Review: 'This Economy Kills' | National Catholic Reporter

Review: 'This Economy Kills' | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: This book may make it onto my reading list, but I am already convinced - and I generally use my own arguments to justify a Catholic cooperative/democratic socialism.  Indeed, rather than the Austrain economists (who are considered fools by the main stream of academic thinkers), the Popes should seek out people like me for advice - not on doctrine but on what it is possible to actually execute, given the right mindset.  It still takes some convincing for workers to seek maximum workplace democracy - including electing supervisors - and the diversion of social insurance taxes into employee ownership.  Of course, believers in multi-sector democracy note its absence in the Church as well but have high hopes that this pope will lead the Church in that direction.
