The Imaginative Conservative: After Weber: Michael Novak & the Theology of Economics
After Weber: Michael Novak & the Theology of Economics
Michael Novak, influenced by classical Catholic theology, made significant contributions to the theology of economics, paralleling the work of Max Weber. His writings, including "The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism," emphasize the relationship between economic and political freedom, critiquing liberation theology and advocating for a model of economic creativity grounded in Christian principles.

Novak argues that genuine economic progress requires a realistic understanding of human nature, the importance of competition, and the necessity of separating spiritual and secular spheres. He posits that charity is essential for a dignified society, asserting that without it, political and economic systems cannot truly serve humanity.
