Quadragesimo Anno – Part Four


What should we do with excessive wages? What should we do when we make more than enough money to live? Pope Pius XI discusses this in part 4 of Quadragesimo Anno. He discusses what God expects of us with excess capital, what not do with it and how society should approach it. Plus, he discusses the evil that exists with wealth being tied up in the hands of a few, leaving the working class to fight over scraps.
