Ossetania wrote:What economic system would be most compatible with Christianity?

Capitalism ordered by Catholic social teaching. As the purely economic consequence of human activity, it respects the dignity of the human person, but doesn’t proscribe a normative ethic like libertarianism or socialism. Capitalism is a reflection of the human will -a blank template- and will manifest into whatever form the society takes. If the individuals of a society are immoral and disordered, then so too will a capitalist society become. But on its own, it’s not a disorder system in itself since it’s an analysis of what happens when people are free to act according to their will. And those wills should be in accord with right order.
