The spirit of democratic capitalism by
Michael Novak(
Book
)
63 editions published between 1978 and 2015 in 7 languages and held by 1,701 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this groundbreaking book, Michael Novak offers one of the most significant and refreshing appraisals of capitalism in recent times. A leading neo-conservative thinker, Novak challenges the almost universal assumption that capitalism, because of the prosperity it brings, is without the moral and spiritual underpinnings of socialism. Novak argues convincingly that, in fact, by virtue of its distinctive spirit, democratic capitalism is not only pragmatically superior but morally more sound than any other system of political economy known to man. That spirit, says Novak, consists of a novel trinity: a political democracy, a market incentive economy, and a liberal, pluralistic culture. Based on respect for individual freedom, it provides a broader vision of human possibility than that offered by any other societal alternative

The experience of nothingness by
Michael Novak(
Book
)
17 editions published between 1969 and 1998 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,319 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this work, the author has two objectives. First, he shows the paths by which the experience of nothingness is becoming common among all those who live in free societies. Second, he details the various experiences that lead to the nothingness point of view. Most discussions of these matters have been so implicated in the European experience that the term "nihilism" has a European ring. This author, however, articulates this experience of formlessness in an American context

Belief and unbelief : a philosophy of self-knowledge by
Michael Novak(
Book
)
38 editions published between 1965 and 1994 in English and French and held by 1,243 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Written in a context of personal tragedy as well as intel- lectual search, Belief and Unbelief is grounded in the belief that human experience is enclosed within a person-to-person relationship with the source of all things--sometimes in darkness, other times in aridity, but always in deep encounter with community and courage. It is written with a deep fidelity to classical Catholic thought as well as a sense of the writings of sociology, anthropology, and political theory--from Harold Lasswell to Friedrich von Hayek

Michael Novak(
Book
)
10 editions published between 1971 and 2009 in English and held by 1,037 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The essence of Ascent of the Mountain, Flight of the Dove remains intact: its vision of religious studies as sustained refl ection on our lifelong voyage to discover who we are. The story we choose for ourselves, the story we live, can sacralize or secularize our lives and our world by the way in which we choose to relate to it. With this awareness of the story dimension of life, Ascent of the Mountain, Flight of the Dove opens us to awe, reverence, and wonder at the risks and possibilities of human freedom

The Catholic ethic and the spirit of capitalism by
Michael Novak(
Book
)
27 editions published between 1993 and 2015 in 6 languages and held by 908 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Novak offers an original and penetrating conception of social justice, rescuing it as a personal virtue necessary for social activism. Since Pius XI made this idea canonical in 1931, the term has been rejected by the Right as an oxymoron and misused by the Left as a party platform. Novak applies this newly formulated notion of social justice to the urgent worldwide problems of ethnicity, race, and poverty. His fresh rethinking of the Catholic ethic comes just in time to challenge citizens in those two large and historically Catholic regions, Eastern Europe and Latin America, now taking their first steps as market economies, as well as those of us in the West seeking a realistic moral vision."--BOOK JACKET

Business as a calling : work and the examined life by
Michael Novak(
Book
)
24 editions published between 1996 and 2013 in 7 languages and held by 869 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"A larger proportion than ever before of the world's Christians, Jews, and other peoples of faith are spending their working lives in business. Business is a profession worthy of a person's highest ideals and aspirations, fraught with moral possibilities both of great good and of great evil. Novak takes on agonizing problems, such as downsizing, the tradeoffs that must sometimes be faced between profits and human rights, and the pitfalls of philanthropy. He also examines the daily questions of how an honest day's work contributes to the good of many people, both close at hand and far away. Our work connects us with one another. It also makes possible the universal advance out of poverty, and it is an essential prerequisite of democracy and the institutions of civil society."--Jacket

Michael Novak(

)
8 editions published between 2006 and 2007 in English and held by 709 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Drawing upon new sources and Washington's own words, the Novaks reveal that the first president was indeed deeply spiritual though also deeply private about his personal religious convictions and practices. This new presentation of Washington - as a man whose religion guided his governance - brings him into the center of today's debates about the role of faith in government and will challenge everything we thought we knew about the inner life of the father of our country."--Jacket
