The U.S. Bishops and Their Critics: An Economic and Ethical Perspective

by Walter Block

Overview

The U.S. Bishops and Their Critics is a detailed response to the recommendations made by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in the Pastoral Letter "Economic Justice for All." Though written in 1986, the criticisms made by Dr. Walter Block and his peers are very relevant to the social and economic realities we face today in 2013. This book is a must-read for those interested in libertarianism, theology, and social justice.
