Bernhard Emunds, a German Catholic social ethicist, is engaged in research into financial markets. This article introduces post-Keynesianism as his economic foundation, followed by a description of conclusions Emunds draws about the regulation of financial markets. Thereafter, implications of the post-Keynesian framework are contrasted with those of supply-side economics. The article finally appraises the suitability of post-Keynesianism as an economic foundation for Catholic social teaching.
