Collectively demonstrating the fundamental unity of Novak’s work, the essays in this book span a broad range of political, economic, and social topics. Although this collection shows that Novak’s viewpoints did evolve over time, he remains a thinker clearly rooted in the ancient and medieval Catholic tradition.
