Letter: The Pope as a Stakeholder

From Mr Christopher Road

Sir: The thinking behind the stakeholder economy, as described in David Marquand's interesting article ("A stake through the heart of old simplicities", 15 January), is strikingly reminiscent of Catholic social teaching. Not widely known in this country, this substantial body of thought has been developed by successive popes over the past 100 years and provides the moral arguments for a stakeholder society as described by Professor Marquand.

Yours faithfully,

Christopher Road
