Publisher's Synopsis
Christian Economics is a book written by Wilfred John Richmond and first published in 1888. The book explores the intersection of Christian ethics and economic theory, arguing that the two are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary. Richmond argues that economic activity must be guided by Christian principles of justice, charity, and stewardship in order to promote the common good and avoid the negative consequences of greed and selfishness. The book covers a range of topics, including the nature of wealth, the role of government in the economy, and the responsibilities of individuals and businesses. Richmond draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible, classical and contemporary economic theory, and historical examples of Christian economic practice. Overall, Christian Economics offers a unique perspective on the relationship between faith and economics, and remains a relevant and thought-provoking work for readers interested in these topics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
