… is from page 62 of Acton Institute President Fr. Robert Sirico’s 1994 monograph, A Moral Basis for Liberty:

It is sometimes said that no one dreams of capitalism. This too must change. Rightly understood, capitalism is simply the name for the economic component of the natural order of liberty. It means expansive ownership of property, fair and equal rules for all, economic security through prosperity, strict adherence to the boundaries of ownership, opportunity for charity, wise resource use, creativity, growth, development, prosperity, abundance. Most of all it means the application of the principle that every human person has dignity and should have that dignity respected. It is a dream worthy of our spiritual imaginations.
