Thomas E. Woods (1972–)
Author of How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization.
Thomas E. Woods Jr. is an American historian who studied at Harvard and earned his doctorate at Columbia. He appears here for his books on Catholic history: How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, The Church Confronts Modernity, a study of Catholic intellectuals in the Progressive Era, and Sacred Then and Sacred Now, on the traditional Latin Mass. He also writes on economics and politics; in The Church and the Market he argues for a free economy. Those views are his own, not Church teaching.
