In the first of a projected irregular series on Traditionalist Economics, I draw from the writings of John Lane, Pius XI and other Catholic economic thinkers to consider the first question of political economy: who is responsible for the money supply?

I consider: the fundamental causes of inflation; the sovereignty of money creation; fractional reserve banking; the gold standard; the nature of our current usury money versus Medieval economic stability and leisure, before proposing some initial Catholic solutions to these essential problems.

With particular thanks to John Lane for his insights.

Originally published at OnePeterFive, this two-part essay is my attempt at offering a positive vision and strategy for the laity in their mission of reconstituting a Catholic political and social order (building Christendom). I am interested in having conversations and sharing ideas with anybody who is planning, or involved in, relevant constructive projects.

Will Tucker and I discuss the 'lost' draft encyclical of Pius XI on the unity of the human race, the Jewish Question, anti-Semitism, and racism - Humani Generis Unitas.

The section on the Jewish Question and anti-Semitism can be found here:

Welcoming the clarity of the document, we examine the draft encyclical's explanation of the Church's teachings on: St Paul and fulfilment theology; the deicide charge; the enmity of the Synagogue towards the Church; the Church's condemnation of anti-Semitism and her answers to the Jewish question.
