Labour Rights and the Catholic Church

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“[this book] provides a genuinely new and insightful contribution to our existing knowledge. It sheds new light on a neglected area of inquiry. In so doing, it invites the reader to reflect further on the interplay of faith and labour. … In summary, Paul Beckett’s fascinating book reveals an ethical and institutional relationship between the ILO and the Catholic Church. He sustains his argument that their links, both historical and contemporary, are neglected in much of the existing literature. … More broadly, this original book illustrates the importance of labour law scholarship engaging with all dimensions to the relationship between religion and the workplace.”
