| dc.description.abstract | "The book develops an approach to economics rooted in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. It challenges contemporary assumptions about economics based on the principle of utility, and instead proposes a perspective that, through the emphasis of St. Thomas on the transcendent nature of the human person, suggests to economists that a teleological approach that looks only for material comforts and increased material riches is shortsighted even from an economics perspective. As an alernative it offers a broader perspective in understanding the human person. It goes beyond offering the Church's Social Doctrine in favor or rethinking the field of economics. A book addressed to economists and theologians, it is based on the author's intellectual experience and conversion, going from a Harvard PhD in Economics and professor of Economics at Occidental College, a prestigious university in Los Angeles, to a PhD in Theology from the University of Notre Dame, and her personal conversion from a shallow semi-pagan spirituality to Catholicism." | en_US |
