Ryan delves into the ethical considerations surrounding wealth distribution in the early 20th century. Through a robust analytical framework, Ryan employs a blend of philosophical inquiry and social commentary to address the pressing issues of economic disparity and social justice. His prose is both accessible and profound, incorporating moral theology and economic theory, situating his arguments within the broader context of Catholic social teaching and the emerging labor movements of his time. Ryan meticulously critiques contemporary economic practices, advocating for a more equitable distribution of resources to promote societal well-being. John A. Ryan, a prominent theologian and social philosopher, was significantly influenced by the socio-economic landscapes of the post-World War I era. His experiences as a priest and educator, coupled with his commitment to social reform, motivate his exploration of fairness and justice in economic systems. Ryan's academic background in moral philosophy and his involvement in social activism deeply inform his perspective, allowing him to engage rigorously with the ethical implications of wealth distribution. This book is indispensable for readers interested in the intersections of economics, ethics, and social justice. Ryan's insights remain relevant today, prompting critical reflection on contemporary wealth disparities and advocating for a morally grounded approach to economic distribution. It is essential for scholars, policymakers, and anyone keen to understand the ethical imperatives that shape our society's economic structure. 280 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Distributive Justice: The Right and Wrong of Our Present Distribution of Wealth, John A. Ryan offers a rigorous moral and economic examination of income, property, wages, profits, interest, and rent in modern industrial society. Written in a lucid argumentative style, the book belongs to the Progressive Era's reform literature while drawing deeply on Catholic natural-law ethics and the social vision of Rerum Novarum. Ryan's central concern is not envy of wealth but the moral legitimacy of distribution: whether existing economic arrangements allow persons and families the material conditions required for dignified life. Ryan, a Catholic priest, moral theologian, and economist, was among the most influential American interpreters of Catholic social teaching. His earlier advocacy of a living wage and his work at the Catholic University of America shaped his conviction that economics could not be separated from ethics. Observing the inequalities produced by industrial capitalism, he sought principles by which social policy, labor relations, and property rights might be judged. This book is recommended to readers interested in social ethics, economic justice, Catholic thought, and Progressive Era reform. It remains valuable as a disciplined attempt to ask not merely how wealth is distributed, but how it ought to be distributed.…
