 Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia are all about the "pursuit of Happiness," so what could the Angelic Doctor St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) possibly have to say to us and other attentive, high-aspiring, and over-achieving learners at UVA about the trouble with money and our desire for fulfillment and career success? Perhaps far more than you initially might think, and we have invited just the right person to be our guide. Mary Hirschfeld has a double Ph.D.--the first in Economics from Harvard and the second in Theology from Notre Dame. She presently is Associate Professor of Economics & Theology at Villanova University and the author of the fascinating Aquinas and the Market: Toward a Humane Economy (Harvard, 2018).
