Free Book: Return to Order: From a Frenzied Economy to an Organic Christian Society—Where We’ve Been, How We Got Here, and Where We Need to GoPrudence demands such care and diligence as the condition of person and the importance of the business require; for it is part of prudence to consider all the circumstances and all the things necessary to the intended end, and to apply them in a suitable manner, place and time (Bernard W. Dempsey, S.J., Interest and Usury, American Council on Public Affairs, Washington, D.C., 1943, p. 145).
