Synopsis
From populism and progressivism to the New Deal and post-World War II conservatism, Catholic economists and social thinkers have confronted the same problems as other Americans. Within the Market Strife recounts the history of American Catholic views on economic issues and places those views firmly wihtin the context of their time., In a period often viewed by historians as one in which Catholics labored in an intellectual ghetto, shut off from mainstream American thought and culture, a number of Catholic intellectuals were thinking seriously about the relationship between Catholicism and its American context. Within the Market Strife examines these views on economic questions in the period 1891-1962, from populism and progressivism to the New Deal and post-World War II conservatism. The book uniquely contributes to the historical understanding of Catholicism _ and of American intellectual history more generally _ by examining the ways in which Catholic views variously mirrored and interacted with broader American (non-Catholic) views. Within the Market Strife combines Catholic and general American historiographies to discern the ways in which American Catholic economic thought was dependent on factors other than their adherence to the authoritative social teaching of their church, unique political loyalties, personal experience, and economic theories. This book is an essay in intellectual history that will prove itself invaluable to scholars interested in Catholic history, economic history, American religious history, and American intellectual history.

- a***1 (16)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBeautiful PSA Magazine in perfect condition. Shipping was quick, the magazine was protected very well. If I had anything to say that wasn’t 100%, it is that I would have preferred the seller to cut the top edge of the plastic cover to remove his mailing address and info front page. He did the right thing by removing it, no issue there, but the plastic was ripped open haphazardly from the front. I’m just nitpicky; other than that A++ Seller and would recommend to others as well as buy from again!
