Скачать или смотреть Bernard Dempsey, SJ - The Functional Economy, Ch 1: Biography of an Unsatisfactory Science (Part 1)

"'The Functional Economy' examines systematically the forces and facts present in every real, working economy. The author projects the ideal situation, which intelligent adherence to the enlightened teachings of the Church and constant awareness of the lessons of history can achieve, against the background of historic and existing economic communities. This is of special importance concerning economic thinking in the United States, where theories quite false have been accepted as immutable facts, yet practice has progressed toward truth. The necessity of and the means for improvement of the economic community, the great challenge that lies in man's call for the restoration of social order, the historical development of man's moral attitude toward economics—all this has been analyzed in the light of traditional philosophy."
