Reviews
'One of the many remarkable things about this study is that it has taken an economist to name and surmount the gap in Catholic social thought between high-level principles and social action! Expertly naming the limits of empirical analysis in bridging that gap, Yuengert sees that only attention to the virtues - especially prudence - can make CST truly practical. The author shows how 'a prudential audit of CST' must be much more than the common claim that the teachings involve 'prudential judgment' that is little more than personal opinion about the effectiveness of particular policies. Instead, Yuengert displays how practical wisdom rooted in a life of virtue allows for a 'practical personalism' in which CST forms laypeople at every level of their social lives. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in how the distinctive social vision of CST can be rightly applied by the laity in their vocation to shape a more just and loving world.' David Cloutier, Ordinary Professor of Theology and Area Director, Moral Theology & Ethics, The Catholic University of AmericaMoral Theology & Ethics, The Catholic University of AmericaMoral Theology & Ethics, The Catholic University of AmericaMoral Theology & Ethics, The Catholic University of America, 'Andrew Yuengert's lucidly written and deftly argued book is a genuine desideratum finally filling a longstanding lacuna - the bridging between Catholic Social Teaching and practical reasoning, the virtue of prudence in act. A noted economist, Yuengert has acquired a remarkable expertise in the neo-Aristotelian virtue tradition and puts it to use with great competence to the practice of Catholic social teaching. I cannot think of a more important work on Catholic Social Teaching in recent years. It should be required reading for Catholic bishops and Catholic laity in decision making positions in economics, politics, and business.' Reinhard Huetter, School of Theology and Religious Studies, The Catholic University of America

Synopsis
The virtue of practical wisdom is implicit but largely unexplored in Catholic social thought. This book investigates Catholic Social Teaching from the neo-Aristotelian perspective of practical wisdom and the virtues tradition. It brings practical wisdom into an explicit, wide-ranging conversation with Catholic teaching on society and economics., Although the virtues are implicit in Catholic Social Teaching, they are too often overlooked. In this pioneering study, Andrew M. Yuengert draws on the neo-Aristotelian virtues tradition to bring the virtue of practical wisdom into an explicit and wide-ranging engagement with the Church's social doctrine. Practical wisdom and the virtues clarify the meaning of Christian personalism, highlight the irreplaceable role of the laity in social reform, and bring attention to the important task of lay formation in virtue. This form of wisdom also offers new insights into the Church's dialogue with economics and the social sciences, and reframes practical political disagreements between popes, bishops, and the laity in a way that challenges both laypersons and episcopal leadership. Yuengert's study respects the Church's social tradition, while showing how it might develop to be more practical. By proposing active engagement with practical wisdom, he demonstrates how Catholic Social Teaching can more effectively inform and inspire practical social reform.
