Liberalism
and Morality: Economics, Liberty and Morality
Thursday,
17 January 2008
Fr. Robert Sirico discusses how economics, liberty
and morality center on the human person. A free
environment creates opportunities that allow him
to choose and harness resources. Criticism against
economics arises because many choices are based
on subjective values. However, it is a misconception
to understand morality as relativistic. Virtue is
something consistent across all humanity. Morality
underlines the responsibility to create a flourishing
society that is worthy of human dignity.

the value that business brings to a society. He
explains that it is through entrepreneurship that
the poor’s hopes are met and their needs are
addressed. He stresses that in order to have this,
