Stories Economists Tell

Studies in Christianity and Economics

Beschreibung

A Christian approach to economic analysis requires that humans be thought of not as maximizing their own private economic welfare, but rather as making moral choices with their resources. Professor Tiemstra lays out the methodology of this approach in the first section of this book. He then applies it to real economic problems, including poverty and economic justice, environmental sustainability, and globalization.

Autor

John P. Tiemstra taught economics at Calvin College from 1975 until 2012. He is the 2009 recipient of the Thomas F. Divine, SJ Award from the Association for Social Economics, for "lifetime contributions to social economics."
