FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAKING SENSE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
A Guide to Understanding Magnifica Humanitas is Now Available in Spanish
(Arlington, Virginia, USA, May 15, 2026) Justice University Press, an imprint of the Center for Economic and Social Justice (CESJ), a think tank promoting a free market, private property-based approach to widespread capital ownership without redistribution, is pleased to announce the release of Personalismo Económico: Propiedad, Poder y Justicia para Cada Persona (ISBN: 978-1-60210-011-4), a book applying the personalist thought of Pope John Paul II. Translated into Spanish by Dr. María Teresa Rosón de Pérez Lozano of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina in Buenos Aires, Personalismo Económico makes Economic Personalism: Property, Power and Justice for Every Person (2020) by Michael D. Greaney and Dawn K. Brohawn available to a new audience.
A short but substantive work, Personalismo Económico presents a summary of natural law moral principles and sound methods of finance designed to establish and maintain economic justice for all. In English or in Spanish, Personalismo Económico is an essential orientation to understand and advance the message of Pope Leo XIV’s new encyclical for people of all faiths and philosophies everywhere.
In Personalismo Económico, the authors explain the principles of how essential institutions can be reformed to serve the needs of every person. Giving the framework for an economic order that is neither individualist (capitalism) nor collectivist (socialism), but personalist, this book identifies and resolves faulty assumptions about nature, society, and the human person, and about Church, State, and Family that have raised barriers against the full and inclusive participation of every person in the institutions of the common good.
The result of years of intensive research and work in developing and applying the principles of the Just Third Way, in conjunction with Magnifica Humanitas, Personalismo Económico has the potential not only to revitalize how individuals view their institutions and their place in society but lays out principles that could inspire and guide debate on today’s vital issues and help shape public discourse and future policy. Although Personalismo Económico is based on Catholic social teaching grounded in natural law and has an imprimatur, CESJ is not a Catholic or a religious organization. The book is written from an inclusive, universal perspective. It is readily accessible and applicable by Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
To encourage wide distribution and promote understanding of Magnifica Humanitas, Economic Personalism in English, and Personalismo Económico in Spanish are available as free ebooks from the CESJ website, www.cesj.org. Trade paperbacks of both editions will soon be available from Amazon.
