Wait a minute!

This book is NOT out of stock!! I just called the publisher in St. Louis, and they said they've got plenty on hand. What's going on here? Anyway, this is a good book, one of the best I've seen on the subject of the problem of poverty and solving the problem through widespread, direct ownership of the means of production. Sure, the state has a role, but it's more of helping people to do for themselves than doing it for them. I questioned some of the examples given in the book, but I visited the website of the organization that put the thing together, the Center for Economic and Social Justice, www.cesj.org, and the problems I found in the book with the examples arose AFTER the book was published. They respond to the problems without avoiding the issues. I see where the book addresses matters from a "Catholic" perspective, but was put together by Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Muslims -- making it catholic rather than specifically Catholic. It deserves more attention than it's gotten.
