longstanding tradition of sharing provides the basis of the

identified Catholic ethic, writes John E. Tropman, professor
of
social work, in his new book The Catholic Ethic in American

ethic by
analyzing perspectives of each on the value of money and
work, and the
importance of family, community and the individual.
