What does the economy do for people? What does it do to people? How do people participate in it? The U.S. bishops address these very questions in Economic Justice for All: Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy. This Book begins with a pastoral message from the U.S. bishops to Catholics through out the United States and contains the complete text of their landmark pastoral letter examining the moral dimensions and human consequences of American economic life. Some of the fundamental issues addressed include poverty, unemployment, food and the economic relationship the U.S. has with developing nations.
