What will the future of work, social freedom, and employment look
like? In an era of increased job insecurity and social dislocation,
is it possible to reshape economics along democratic lines in a way
that genuinely serves the interests of the community? Of Labour and
Liberty arises from Race Mathews's half-century and more of
political and public policy involvement. It responds to evidence of
a precipitous decline in active citizenship, resulting from a loss
of confidence in politics, politicians, parties, and parliamentary
democracy; the rise of "lying for hire" lobbyism; increasing
concentration of capital in the hands of a wealthy few; and
corporate wrongdoing and criminality. It also questions whether
political democracy can survive indefinitely in the absence of
economic democracy-of labor hiring capital rather than capital
labor. It highlights the potential of the social teachings of the
Catholic Church and the now largely forgotten Distributist
political philosophy and program that originated from them as a
means of bringing about a more equal, just, and genuinely
democratic social order. It describes and evaluates Australian
attempts to give effect to Distributism, with special reference to
Victoria. And with an optimistic view to future possibilities it
documents the support and advocacy of Pope Francis, and ownership
by some 83,000 workers of the Mondragon cooperatives in Spain. This
book will interest scholars and students of Catholic social
teaching, history, economics, industrial relations, and business
and management.
