In this episode, Dan Hugger speaks with Stephen Barrows, chief operating officer at the Acton Institute, about the relationship between Catholic Social Teaching and economics. In what sense is economics a science? How does Catholic Social Teaching relate to social science? How well has the Catholic Church integrated the insights of economics into its social teaching? What can economists learn from Catholic Social Teaching? How does the Acton Institute apply the best insights of economists vis-à-vis Catholic Social Teaching in service of the common good?  Subscribe to our podcasts Watch this podcast here Acton On-Demand Rerum Novarum | Pope Leo XIII  Pope Francis’ Plea for Migrants and Acton’s Core Principles | Stephen Barrows Labor Economics and the Development of Papal Social Encyclicals | Stephen Barrows CORE: Economic Way of Thinking | Anne Rathbone Bradley The Call of the Entrepreneur—Full Movie | Ed O’Brien | Peter Boettke | George Gilder The Humane Economist: A Wilhelm Röpke Reader | Dan Hugger, Editor A Value Judgment on Value Judgments (1941) | Wilhelm Röpke A Value Judgment on A Value Judgment on Value Judgments | Samuel Gregg Economics in One Lesson | Henry Hazlitt If you’d like to support this podcast, you can help by leaving a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts.
