Overview
A Humane Economy starts with an understanding of the human person.  Three things to be considered are:  (1) what is a human person in Catholic Social Teaching/Caritas in Veritate (CST/CV) and Economic theory; (2) why economics needs a CST/CV understanding of the person; and (3) implications of the CST/CV view of the human person for economic practice.
