Pope going to lead a economic revolution?Will Catholicism succeed where communism failed? overthrow Capitalism?

By no stretch of the imagination is the Pope trying to overthrow capitalism. All he is saying is that nation states and investors need to practice their capitalism with ethical values and compion for those less fortunate. Popes have been saying this since St. Peter, I don't see how this latest encyclical is any different that the thousands of others that have been issued, except that the media finds relevance in this one while it hasn't in the past. Really, encyclicals are a good read and often capture some of the greatest needs of the time, however so few people actually read them.
