text: To understand how the free market is not compatible with RC social thought, read "This Economy Kills" Tornielli and Catholic "Catholic Economies" Sibley. I don't know why Brooks is not aware of the Catholic churches' critique of our modern 'run-amuck' capitalism. Adam Smith must be rolling over in his grave. Every human system has flaws that become gross with time. Everyone can see that something is wrong. The rich are not only getting richer, but also becoming ever more powerful. Democracy is demolished. The common man is not heard and is manipulated to vote against his own best interest. Hence Trump. Even people with a moral compass  are lost. This country is so decided now that we're ripe for disaster.
