On the 100th anniversary of "Rerum Novarum" Pope John Paul II pays tribute to Pope Leon XIII while at the same time seizing the opportunity of expanding on the world in 1991. In this John Paul II explores the world of economiques and its effects on our society. Due to the fall of the wall of Berlin 2 years prior and the end of communism in Poland one can expect him to give a certain viewpoint due to his Polish origins. Wether a devout Catholic or a nonbeliever who is intrested in economics and recent history this encyclical is a must read for a better understanding of how in an ever evolving world withdifferent sectors such as economy, technology, politics, and human behavior, what is a solution that one can take.

If you're a history buff who's interested in any of the world wars, not just the battles but the effects it had on many, especially those back at home, then this is a rather good book. Granted it's better in its original French version solely because it's from the eyes of a French man. A little bit of mature content to deal with but it's not 50 shades of Grey so don't worry. Sure it is a little slow in the beginning, and the middle, and a little towards the end but this book is more a psychological read than an action read.
