Another video from Crossway that gives you a taste of what’s in my new book, Economics: A Student’s Guide:

There’s a created intention for the economy that it be a web of love and service where people are taking good care of each other through their work, but it’s also a place where greed and pride and sloth and envy and all the other sins are very much a presence, and are even incorporated into the institutions that we participate in. So in one sense, our daily participation in the economy is really a front line in the holy war between good and evil in our universe – which is a little bit different than what you get from an economics textbook.

The book is a highly accessible introduction to the history of Christian thought about economics, and what it means for us today.

In other book news, I was humbled to learn that my other book on economics this year, The Keynesian Revolution and Our Empty Economy: We’re All Dead, has been downloaded 2,891 times from Amazon. It’s a scholarly book, not a beach read, so that’s a lot more than I would have expected. Thanks to all who read it – and for everyone else, you can rent it on Kindle for $30!
