“I’ve had some harsh words to describe Pope Francis. … the pontiff’s ignorance of basic economics has led him to a bad conclusion about which public policies are best able to reduce the crushing yoke of poverty in the world. … as a matter of empirical fact, markets are the single greatest engine for growth and enrichment that humanity has yet stumbled upon. … He seems to be arguing that an outlook that places the individual above ‘the common good’ is morally suspect. … his statements betray a shallowness in his understanding of the philosophy he’s impugning. If he took the time to really engage with our ideas, he might be surprised by what he learned. … what Pope Francis calls an ‘antisocial’ paradigm … is better known by another name: the liberty movement, a cooperative and sometimes even rather social endeavor among people who cherish peaceful, voluntary human interactions.”
