Three in One Essays on Democratic Capitalism,

Throughout his many writings, Michael Novak, one of the leading Catholic social theorists of our times, has urged us to adopt a tripartite system of democratic capitalism including a market economy, a democratic polity, and a moral-cultural system that would nourish the values and virtues on which free societies depend. Three in One introduces the reader to Novak's portrait of democratic capitalism.

Michael Novak holds the George Frederick Jewett Chair in Religion, Philosophy, and Public Policy at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., he is also the director of social and political studies. Edward W. Younkins is a professor in the department of business and technology at Wheeling Jesuit University and the founder of the university's degree program in political and economic philosophy.
