I need to reread this, but this was very, very good.

Quite good. Treats different subject matter -- human development -- from Benedict's prior two encyclicals but still well worth a read.

Benedict continues in the tradition of the Church, underscoring that technocratic solutions will ultimately fail without proper human stewardship, and that capitalism -- as a system -- only has merit insofar as it is conducted by morally good actors.

The Acton Institute has a pretty good review:
