Why is it important?
The fundamental principles and values of Catholic Social Teaching form a personalist approach to economics. The chapter also includes a review of the Vocation of the Business Leader, a booklet which summarizes the basic ideas of Christian teachings on entrepreneurship. Christianity does not impose a burden on business leaders but reveals and reaffirms the spiritual importance of their vocation.
Perspectives
Christian values and principles for business are identified by reviewing the documents of Catholic Social Teaching, namely: human dignity, truth, justice, solidarity, subsidiarity, freedom, charity, fraternity, common good, frugality, and responsibility.
