EC352 Business Econ & Catholic Social Thought
Prerequisites: EC 201 and EC 202 and Junior or Senior Status
Introduction to the societal view and ethical principles of Catholic Social Thoughts (CST) and to economic theory. CST uses both to explore the culture and essential features of a well-functioning business economy-an economy based on entrepreneurship, corporations, markets, the efficient, responsible use of resources and assets, and the accumulation and sharing of wealth. It compares a business economy with other economies, e.g. socialism and evaluates them according to CST concepts, including the common good, subsidiarity, solidarity, social justice, preferential option for the poor and the just wage principle. It will explore ways in which democratic policy making and sound moral culture may sustain a business economy, especially in service to the fundamental role of family in society.
