      abstract = {This book offers different perspectives onHumanism as  developed by Catholic Social Teaching, with a particular  focus on its relevance in economics and business. The work  is composed of three sections, covering what is meant by  Christian Humanism, how it links with economic activity,  and its practical relevance in the business world of today.  Itreviewsthe historical development of Christian Humanism  and discusses the arguments which justify it in the current  cultural context and how it contributes to human  development. The book argues that the current recognition  of human dignity and the existence of innate human rights  are both ultimately rooted in Christian Humanism. Itsets  out the importance of the concept for economic activities,  and how Christian Humanism can serve as a metaphysical  foundation and ethical basis for a social market economy.  Applying Christian Humanism to business leads to the  centrality of the person in organizations and to seeing the  company as a community of persons working together for the  common good. Three thought-provoking case studies  illustrate the wide-reaching positive impacts of applying  Christian Humanism in the organization.},
