Economics for Everybody: Applying Biblical Principles to Work, Wealth & the World

Everybody talks about it. The news is full of it. But most Christians know very little about it. Economics: it’s everywhere, influencing everything, and so rarely understood. 

Economics for Everybody seeks to remedy that through an insightful and entertaining exploration of the principles, practices, and consequences of economics. Thoroughly unconventional, it links entrepreneurship with lemonade, cartoons with markets, and Charlie Chaplin with supply and demand. It’s funny, clever, profound and instructive all in one place. It’s Economics for Everybody. 

Reviewers are saying: "I can do nothing but give the highest recommendation for this study" "Engaging, clear explanation of basic economic concepts" "Another home run" and "Economics doesn’t get more interesting than this." (Read more...)
