A STAND FOR THE HOME

A Stand for the Home: Reflections on the Natural Family and DomesticLife represents a fresh critique of the liberal-capitalist order and a compelling defence of the natural family economy. Rafael Hurtado andFernando Galindo (coords.) cast a strong light on the nature of themarriage and family crisis found within Western Civilization, showingits close connection to the weakening or disappearance of homeeconomies. Through the various chapters, the authors examine inprovocative ways the conflicts between work and family that areinvariably found within Western economies. At the end, they usefullyexplore the solutions or alternatives offered in Roman Catholic social teaching, approaches that point toward a reintegration of work andhome.
