Development Policy and the Poor, Part 1: The Preferential Option for Merchants, Capitalists, and Bureaucrats
The often-stated goal of economic development is to lift people out of poverty. However, the poor are usually an afterthought in the design of development policy, with any benefit that reaches them "trickling down" from what goes to whatever group is the real focus of development policy. All development policy consists of directing and redirecting resources to the group that is felt will promote the aims of those implementing the policy. Politica…
Development Policy and the Poor, Part 2: Preferential Option for the Poor
In a previous essay (Part 1), we examined the economic arguments for development policies that placed certain groups at the vanguard of development policy, making note of the place of the poor in these arguments. In this essay (Part 2), we look at the case for making the poor the central focus of development policy, following the principle in Catholic social thought of the "preferential option for the poor." That principle recommends evaluation o…
Artificial Intelligence and Human Flourishing
The polarization of the debate about artificial intelligence (AI) pulls in two mutually exclusive directions of either complete takeover of future jobs by omnipotent algorithms or an absolute bliss with robots at work while humans reap the benefits of endless vacation. Add this to conflicting views of work as either a disutility to be minimized or as an essential component in human flourishing, and it is no wonder a wide range of views are expres…
On the Priority of Labor Over Capital
In his encyclical Laborem Exercens, John Paul II asserts the principle of the priority of labor over capital. The purpose of this article is to examine this principle. The conflict between labor and capital is often noted as an essential part of capitalism. There is a long tradition of assigning more significance to labor than to capital. In fact, the classical economists argued that labor determined the "value" of a good. To understand this conf…
Power, Subsidiarity, and the Economy of Exclusion
According to Pope Francis, an "economy of exclusion" is an economy with barriers that prevent individuals and groups from participating in the economy and society to their full potential. Power is a key determinant for both exclusion and inclusion. All economies are based on power relations and an "economy of exclusion" is an abuse of power. This contribution looks at what economic power is and how it can build barriers of exclusion or pathways t…
Catholicism and Economics: "Towards a "Deeper Reflection on the Nature of the Economy and its Purposes
Many of the problems neoclassical economic theory has in explaining the real world stem from its narrow view of human nature-the "rational economic man" model, which forces economists to exclude social and historical context. Every social theory starts with a view of human nature that necessarily comes from outside the social sciences. Philosophy and theology are the sources of our ideas about the nature of humans, society, and the good that huma…
The Throwaway Culture in the Economy of Exclusion: Pope Francis and Economists on Waste
An essential part of Pope Francis's critique of the "economy of exclusion" is the concept of the "throwaway culture," which is an attitude and a reality that goes beyond mere exclusion. Francis is building on critiques of consumerism (what John Paul II called "economism") that noted both the environmental impacts of unnecessary waste and the social and human impact of reducing humans to mere consumers-the idea that happiness is shopping. Francis …

The True Wealth of Nations: Catholic Social Thought and Economic Life
The True Wealth of Nations: Catholic Social Thought and Economic Life is a volume of essays that comes out of the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies “True Wealth of Nations” project. The thirteen chapters in this book are mostly by economists and theologians, and the volume is edited by Daniel Finn, who happens to be both. It is clear that these essays reflect considerable discussion among the participants, as the authors do a good job of li…
From The Wealth of Nations to Populorum Progressio (On the Development of Peoples): Wealth and Development from the Perspective of the Catholic Social Thought Tradition
Catholic social thought (CST) looks at economic development from the broader framework of authentic human development. It is only by viewing both man's dignity and his social nature that we include the full nature of the human being. In CST wealth is understood based on its role in promoting authentic human development. Wealth is a gift from God, with humans participating in its creation, and its creation, distribution, and its use must be carrie…
Education(al) Research, Educational Policy-Making and Practice: Education(al) Research, Educational Policy-Making and Practice
Professor Whitty has endorsed the consensus that research into education is empirical social science, distinguishing ‘educational research’ which seeks directly to influence practice, and ‘education research’ that has substantive value but no necessary practical application. The status of the science here is problematic. The positivist approach is incoherent and so supports neither option. Critical educational science is virtually policy-inert. T…
The structure of educational research
Educational research is widely construed as the scientific investigation of the causes of ‘effective’ teaching. Discussion of values and philosophical problems is condemned as descent into ‘ideology’. Opposing this is a conception of teaching as phronesis where educational research and philosophy may be desirable, but have no direct relationship to practice. It is contended in this article that both of these views are misconceived. In educational…

Discipline in Schools
Debate about ‘discipline’in schools almost invariably takes the form of empirical enquiry about which methods are most effective in securing it. This is to neglect a substantial part of the problem – the prior moral issue about the proper way to educate children. The main difficulties here are conceptual. Two rival ways of conceptualising ‘educational order’are identified and examined. The received, traditional way is found to be disingenuous, in…
