Church and the Market presents a vigorous and compelling defense of market economics while offering a sharp critique of state intervention.

The book examines labor unions, monopoly, money and banking, business cycles, interest, and usury through a lens that emphasizes the moral foundations of free markets.

Winner of first place in the 2006 Templeton Enterprise Awards, it stands as one of the most persuasive defenses of capitalism ever written. While the book speaks directly to Catholic readers—affirming their full liberty to embrace market economics—its appeal extends far beyond religious boundaries.

Readers across all traditions and none have recognized its intellectual rigor and moral clarity.

The market principles explored here share common ground with agrarian thought, distributism, and traditional Catholic subsidiarity. Each emphasizes decentralized decision-making, local flourishing, and skepticism toward concentrated power—whether economic or political.
