The economy is not merely a sphere of numbers and markets, but an ethical field that must serve the common good and human dignity. Through its Social Doctrine, the Catholic Church has developed a set of principles guiding its position on issues such as economic justice, the redistribution of wealth, human work, and corporate responsibility. In a world where inequality and poverty persist, and where globalization has expanded both opportunities and divisions, the Church continues to defend an ethical vision of the economy that prioritizes the person's integral development over the pursuit of profit at any cost. In this chapter, we will explore the fundamental principles of the Church's economic teaching and their application to current challenges.
