The Virtuous Economy, Respect and an Approach to the Common Good

As a follow on to the previous posting (In place of Austerity) I’m making available as a pdf the full article from which this was drawn. If you would like to see the item in full, email me as MWi8327963@aol.com and I will send you a copy (it does not seem possible to upload a pdf on blogspot).
The article is a study of the present state of the economy and society, what would be the characteristics of a Virtuous Economy, the importance of restoring respect for ordinary people, the relation of these desiderata to the Common Good, and how each might be achieved.
The contents of the paper are:
1 The State We're In
2 The Virtuous Economy
3 Restoring the Balance
4 Well-being in the Virtuous Economy
5 Virtuous Exemplar Institutions
6 An Economy for the Common Good
7 The Virtuous Economy and the Good Society
8 Regenerating the Economy
9 Getting There
10 Towards the Common Good
The proposals are radical and undoubtedly challenging and I hope that you will find something with which to agree.
