	Michael Novak’s Portrait of Democratic Capitalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Novak’s method is to move through a set of themes (pluralism, emergent probability, providence and practical wisdom, community, the communitarian individual, the family, and continuous revolution) in order to paint a picture of democratic capitalism.
		Novak explains that a calling is unique to the individual, requires talent to do the job, is accompanied by the enjoyment and sense of accomplishment, satisfaction, and renewed energies that its performance gives to the called person, and is not always easy to discover.
		Novak explains that corporations are not political communities, are not at all like states, and that their self-governance is not at all like that of a national government.

	MICHAEL NOVAK'S VISION OF DEMOCRATIC CAPITALISM
		Michael Novak's work is of particular interest in that he is a Catholic intellectual who has painted a portrait of democratic capitalism and has explained its underlying principles.
		Novak argues that Weber missed the mark by defining the spirit of capitalism too narrowly and attributing it to Calvinistic attitudes rather than to a range of values that were actually shared by many types of Christians and Jews.
		Michael Novak thoughtfully makes the case that capitalism rightly understood is not only compatible with Catholic social doctrine but is also the strongest force for liberation the world has ever known.

		Novak argued that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had disrupted international order by refusing to disarm and that Iraqi weapons risked falling into the hands of a new breed of international terrorists eager to strike countries around the world with no advance warning.
		Novak rejected accusations, including some made by Vatican sources, that the United States' true interest in Iraq was oil reserves, and he said some of the Vatican rhetoric seemed based in emotional, European anti-Americanism.
		Novak said a recent anti-war editorial in La Civilta Cattolica, a Jesuit journal reviewed before publication by the Vatican, was unfair in attributing hidden motives to the United States without also examining the possible motives of France, Germany, Russia and China.

	Contra Novak by Daniel McCarthy
		Novak says that the original Gulf War in 1991 never ended, it was merely "summarily interrupted, in order to negotiate the terms of surrender." Hostilities may now resume, argues Novak, because Saddam Hussein has violated those terms by refusing to divest himself of weapons of mass destruction.
		Michael Novak would be more justified in urging that the U.S. invade the Everglades or annex Berlin than launch a pre-emptive attack on Iraq, a country that had no involvement in 9/11 whatsoever.
		Novak concludes his piece on a note with which we can all agree: it will be nice if Saddam Hussein disarms completely, submits to the most thorough possible inspections, and all sides agree that war is unnecessary.

		To be sure, the Novaks acknowledge that Washington generally kept his Christian convictions private, but the language and conduct of this Anglican vestryman reflect marks of real devotion, not the mere shell of social conformity.
		Michael is somewhat hampered in his investigation by his own Roman Catholicism, which of necessity means he comes to Washington not as a coreligionist, and dependent on others for their perspective on the Church of England.
		Novak is, sadly, unacquainted with this historical practice, and so he did not properly address it in his book.
