Pope Francis' critique of modern economics has made him an icon for the Left and prompted claims that he is a Communist. The leader of 1.2 billion Catholics has called capitalism, at best, a source of inequality and, at worst, a killer. Edward Stourton examines the Pope's critique and speaks to corporate lawyer turned Catholic priest, Fr Augusto Zampini Davies and Austen Ivereigh, author of The Great Reformer - Francis and the Making of a Radical Pope.
