Globalization and Catholic Social Thought
By: John A. Coleman William R. Ryan
Overview
Globalization has generated heated debate: to some it stands for a new era of communication, interconnection, and greater economic efficiency. For others, it implies dislocation, marginalization, and the loss of local identity. This volume assesses globalization and the capacity of Catholic social teaching to guide and reform it.
