Overview
A Humane Economy starts with an understanding of the human
person. Three things to be considered are: (1) what is
a human person in Catholic Social Teaching/Caritas in Veritate
(CST/CV) and Economic theory; (2) why economics needs a CST/CV
understanding of the person; and (3) implications of the CST/CV
view of the human person for economic practice.
