Comments on: God’s Economics http://bustedhalo.com/features/gods-economics an online magazine for spiritual seekers Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:56:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: NT http://bustedhalo.com/features/gods-economics/comment-page-1#comment-807 NT Fri, 05 Dec 2008 22:41:50 +0000 http://www.bustedhalo.com/?p=5416#comment-807 I think this is an interesting article, but, to be critical, I think it falls short of the richness that we as Christians have in terms of economic wisdom. I think the Bible is an excellent source for such wisdom, but it is, by no means complete. While they admit to not being economists, I think that anyone who is truly seeking out to understand how to approach the economy and money with a Christian perspective, would do well to read up on the Austrian School of Economics. The Austrian School looks at economics with the understanding that it follows natural laws and many of its foundation principals come from the time of St. Thomas Aquinas and his contemporaries. In any case, it's worth looking into if you want a fuller understanding of the economy that conforms to the Church.
