Matteo Liberatore y la Rerum Novarum: La propiedad privada y el salario: entre la economía y el magisterio social de la Iglesia
Abstract
Rerum Novarum is a unique case of an encyclical, for we know in great detail how it was drafted and written. If we connect this knowledge to the fact that Matteo Liberatore - the main thinker who collaborated to its writing - wrote a treatise on the Principles of Political Economy, we can analyse how economic thought and moral theology are intertwined in the work of Liberatore.
