"We live in a world with millions in need, a nation torn by conflicting ideologies that offer failing remedies for economic ills. Yet the gospel calls Christians to feed the hungry and care for the poor. But how?
'Prosperity and Poverty' offers clear teaching on Biblical principles of stewardship and economics, enabling us to make informed choices in these areas. The stakes are high. Our decisions mean the difference between starvation and plenty, between liberty and oppression, for tens of millions of people."

E. Calvin Beisner here looks at all the same assumptions that Austrian economics does, though from a biblical perspective. He reasons in more or less the same way; one thing that impressed me about this work, though, is how efficient he is at getting to some rather important conclusions such as: the free market is the most efficient and best way to determine prices. Therefore, to allow any other entity to determine prices (such as the government) is a misuse of resources, and therefore disobeying the Dominion Mandate set forth in Genesis.
This work, though building on the work of other economists such as Ludwig von Mises and Eugene von Bohm-Bawerk, represents the close of communism, and all done from the Christian worldview. Highly recommended!

By Glenn Jaffas
Format:Paperback
Possibly one of the best books on prosperity, the morality and proper pathway to financial success, and economics in general, ever written. The author is a master of both the topic and of teaching the topic. If this book were read by every person in the world, the world would be a much different- and better- place to live for all of us.
