Can free-market capitalism and social justice co-exist in harmony? Compassionate Capitalism examines this question by researching concepts of social justice, economic history and religious/legal restrictions on businesses. The most common systems such as capitalism, socialism, free-market, and command economies are compared and evaluated.
The author proposes a new traditional economy that focuses on integrity, innovation propelled economic growth, encouragement from efficient governments, and priority assistance to the poor. He also cites numerous examples where businesses are making significant contributions to communities mired in poverty and suggests strategies for companies that wish to join in the effort.

Review
Reviewed By Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite
There are very interesting points raised in Compassionate Capitalism and Gerard Hasenhuettl demonstrates a lot of understanding when it comes to political and economic systems. In this book, readers will understand the downside of capitalism in an economy and how governments can integrate social values into existing capitalist systems. This book can be read as a compelling proposal to consider new ways of approaching the phenomena of social justice and poverty. This book is written in a clear and compelling voice, and the reader is immediately pulled into the worldview of the author. Using facts and concrete examples, Gerard Hasenhuettl opens an argument and proposes a form of economy that could solve some of the most pressing ills of contemporary society.

Compassionate Capitalism: The Intersection of Economic Growth and Social Justice is a serious look at how humanity handles wealth, security, survival, and business. This book takes a hard look at these issues, but it is written in a way that is easy to read and understand. I am not an economic expert, but I have thought about these issues and I could follow Gerard L. Hasenhuettl's thinking on the subject and learned a lot as I read his words. The ideas are big, but simple. The solutions are elegant, but ultimately profound. Everything is organized and laid out in a way that keeps moving the reader forward. This may be a very important book.

Compassionate Capitalism is an interesting take on the various economies in the world. I agree with the general philosophy behind the compassionate capitalism economy, but couldn't help wondering if it is practical in today's world where it is increasingly common to only look out for ourselves or for our community and be indifferent towards others. Still, the book is well researched in terms of politics and economics, and presents a new and improved point of view about living in societies. The writing is clear and easy to understand even for a layperson in economics. Overall, this is an interesting take on the question of modern economic systems.
