Biblical Economics

About the Book

Economics is perhaps the main thing that runs the world. How people make their living, how they earn their bread and butter (or kimchi and rice).

Much of it is cruel and unjust and some people live at the margin of existence, some quietly starve to death or die of disease from lack of sanitation and treatment, and others live fantastically elaborately or excercise tremendous power over others through economics.

Biblical Econonomics is about what is a just economic system and to how to bring it about. The Bible says if you don´t express your love for your neighbor in a practical way, you are not obeying God and you are headed for trouble. So what can we do to improve our neighbors´ lot?

Are there any places where Biblical economics are being practiced? This book looks at such places.
