Zusammenfassung:The purpose of Pope John Paul's encyclicalCentesimus Annus (CA) is to propound the foundations of a “just economic order” and to sketch its essential characteristics. As such he essentially provides an orientation or moral compass for the political economy rather than a precise road map. This article first reviews the principal components of CA and then analyzes and evaluates its central contentions on both cultural and economic grounds.
