 Essay: Papal doubts about unbridled capitalism
Pius's response in Quadragesimo Anno was to accept several elements in the Marxist critique of capitalism.
He agreed with Lenin that "free enterprise" must evolve into monopoly capitalism, "an international imperialism whose country is where profit is," a system not able to curb or control itself or to direct economic life, and in consequence ultimately self-destructive.
An unhappy carry-over from the mindset of Pius IX was reasserted in Quadragesimo Anno, the notion of a fixed social order determined by God and not to be challenged by humans.

 LewRockwell.com Blog: The Debate That Won't Die
If you read documents like Pius XI's Quadragesimo Anno, you find a number of statements that take the form, "It is good for families to prosper.
Quadragesimo is filled with such statements, so much so that it's no easy thing to separate the basic principles from the recommendations.
The problem, naturally, is that these are all debatable issues, though Quadragesimo gives the very unfortunate impression that they've all been decided, except for a few holdouts who obstinately refuse their assent.

In Quadragesimo Anno, the "syndicate" or binding union ("union shop" in current parlance) becomes the key organization for achieving the social aims of the worker and society at large.
The unions are "a mouthpiece for the struggle for social justice, for the just rights of working people." (LE 96) In Quadragesimo Anno Pope Pius hoped that syndicates would make strikes unnecessary, but for John Paul the right to strike is clearly legitimate.

It was not until 1931 with the publication of Pius XI's Quadragesimo Anno that the concept of social justice officially and formally entered into the patrimony of papal social thought, although as early as 1923 Pius XI had already equated Thomistic legal justice with social justice.
The publication of Quadragesimo anno had the potential of ending the debate about the meaning of social justice, but it did not.
It is found, says Ferree, in the preamble to Quadragesimo Anno and is widely used as the English title to the encyclical, "On Reconstructing the Social Order." Ferree then explains what this title essentially means by citing two sentences from paragraph 71.

Pope Pius XI Reacting to this threat from the godless, and the failure of the capitalist system to solve the crisis, Pope Pius XI (who reigned from 1921 to 1938) issued his social encyclical Quadragesimo anno (Forty years ago) in 1931.
Quadragesimo Anno, like Rerum Novarum, attacked both capitalism and socialism in trying to blaze a third path between the two “isms.” Capitalism, for example, had changed for the worse in the intervening four decades.
He did not believe that Quadragesimo Anno was applicable to the Labourites as it was to the Marxist labour parties on the European continent.

Likewise the concept and term, "economism," (meaning an "exclusive emphasis on purely economic considerations"), also apparently taken from Pesch, is a concept that John Paul II has introduced into the corpus of the Church's social teachings.
This concept was first explicitly introduced by Pius XI in Quadragesimo Anno.

 Catholicism and Capitalism by Murray N. Rothbard
As for the Papal encyclicals, it must also be remembered that Catholics are not required to take them for gospel; only the Pope speaking "ex cathedral" on matters of high religious dogma – which of course is a rare event must be obeyed implicitly.
Quadragesimo Anno, on the other hand, is virulently anti-capitalist and, in fact, pro-fascist.
Communism was attacked as materialistic, and antithetic to individual liberty, morality, rights, parental education, etc. The way for communism, however, was prepared by the "religious and moral destitution" of the wage earners caused by "liberal economies." The factories had no thought for the priest.

Two of the Church's social encyclicals, Rerum Novarum (1891, Pope Leo XIII) and its fruit, Quadragesimo Anno (1931, Pope Pius XI) are as pertinent today as ever.
In addition, Quadragesimo Anno describes, prophetically, today's global economy and ways to correct the injustices and lack of personal charity.
At the personal level, the level at which each of us changes, Quadragesimo Anno treats at length the ruin of souls in modern society as the principle cause of our present disorder.

The Quadragesimo anno Encyclical, Its Reception and Influence on the Czech Roman Catholic Environment the 1930's
The theoretical basis for this was the encyclical of Pius XI, Quadragesimo anno, which emphasized in particular the need for a new social order based on cooperation between employers and employees in the class-like organizations, which was to lead to the establishment of a social peace.
As a result of the ambiguity of the formulations the principle of the class-like structure of society was also used by authoritarian political movements which thus legitimized their efforts to destroy the parliamentary democracy in Czechoslovakia.

In preparing the first draft (1930) of Quadragesimo Anno and in analyzing the great disorders of the industrial society and threat of the expanding ideologies, he concluded that a complete reorganization of society was necessary.
Gustav Gundlach was also responsible for the following statement in Quadragesimo Anno: “The Christian and the socialist view of society do not go together.” After World War I in Germany, but also in other European countries, the political parties on the far left and on the far right were increasing rapidly.
However, Pius XI declared in Quadragesimo Anno: “No one can be at the same time a sincere Catholic and a true Socialist.”10 Without recourse to God, the creator of the world and of human nature with the social openness for cooperation, society will be reduced to usefulness, to a utilitarian scheme.

 Neither Statism nor Individualism
There are a good many distinctions which must be drawn in this matter, but as a beginning we might look at quotations from two popes that indicate an attitude of great respect toward the institution of civil authority.
On account of the evil of "individualism," as We called it, things have come to such a pass that the highly developed social life which once flourished in a variety of prosperous and interdependent institutions, has been damaged and all but ruined, leaving virtually only individuals and the State....
But the State, deprived of a supporting social structure, and now encumbered with all the burdens once borne by the disbanded associations, is in consequence overwhelmed and submerged by endless affairs and responsibilities (Quadragesimo Anno).

To defraud anyone of the wage due him is a great crime that calls down avenging wrath from Heaven, "Behold, the wages of the laborers...which have been kept back by you unjustly, cry out: and their cry has entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts." (32)
Pope Pius XI, "Quadragesimo Anno": Every effort must therefore be made that fathers of families receive a wage large enough to meet ordinary family needs adequately.
But if this cannot always be done under existing circumstances, social justice demands that changes be introduced as soon as possible whereby such a wage will be assured to every adult workingman (71).

Storck said that, in defining a just wage in the encyclical Quadragesimo Anno, Pope Pius XI said a "wage paid to the workingman should be sufficient for the support of himself and his family" and should be enough so workers can save and not just get by.
But the problem here is that the economy is unorganized; it's basically a free-for-all, and this is what Quadragesimo Anno was designed to counteract.
The so-called occupational groups, which Pius was recommending, are the organizations that ought to handle these questions, not the government directly.

 Subsidiarity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
  Pius XI wrote Quadragesimo Anno, “on reconstruction of the social order,” not against socialism but against liberal individualism and the more inhumane manifestations of capitalism; nonetheless, as in Rerum Novarum, one of the major concerns is the dangers of the centralization of power.
  There, even more than in Quadragesimo Anno, the emphasis of the principle is its demand for the restraint of higher associations.
  This central notion of assistance is perhaps most clear in the language of Quadragesimo Anno: “every social activity ought of its very nature to furnish help to the members of the body social, and never destroy and absorb them” (§79).
