“The second important consequence of Judaism’s understanding of the created universe was its accent on human freedom.”
Samuel Gregg, Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization

“The global expansion of commerce and trade which began in the Middle Ages and accelerated from the late fifteenth century onwards raised many moral questions for merchants in Christian Europe. What, for instance, constituted a just price? Were money markets permissible? Was it legitimate for the state to give one merchant or a business a monopoly on a given product or type of industry? Many commercial traders, anxious about their salvation, turned to their confessors for guidance.”
Samuel Gregg, The Essential Natural Law

“Natural law thus sees free choice as (1) the contemplation of possibilities that provide reasons for action, followed by (2) the active determination of the value of the object of a possible act, and then (3) the active willing of that act (Finnis, 1998: 71). This view of free choice and reason suggests that humans can make free choices to the extent that we understand and act upon reasons that are not reducible to the emotions, the influence of our environment, etc.”
Samuel Gregg, The Essential Natural Law
