Consumerism, speculation, tax evasion and waste are social sins

The unrestrained market creates intemperance

Self-interest is an insufficient basis for the foundation of the economy

Profit is necessary but insufficient

The rich should be cautious

Financial decisions are moral acts

Taking others’ possessions is not always stealing

What is mine is truly mine but not exclusively mine because all is for all

Giving the poor what is needed is justice; it is neither charity nor generosity

Money is not neutral

No one should ever be poor

Money is only a means and not an end

Wealth is the result of work

Competition can be constructive

Business can and should be owned by the workers

The purpose of business is the common good and not profit
