A neoconservative challenge to the assumption that capitalism lacks the moral underpinnings of socialism. This book is a personal but not an egocentric account of how the author has come to reject the socialist teachings which have encumbered the political philosophy of theologians for whom he has clearly a profound respect.

Michael Novak is the George Frederick Jewett Scholar in Religion, Philosophy, and Public Policy at AEI.
