| Résumé : |
Do we really think inflation is an evil? Is there any answer to the frightening problem of mass unemployment? And what can / do to help the starving millions in other parts of the world?
Questions like these nag all of us from time to time. Christians in particular cannot simply shut their eyes and hope it will all go away. We should be familiar with the Bible's outlook on economic life; but we also need to understand the economic system and its effects on people's behaviour. This book has been written to help us on both counts, so that in an age of gloom and anxiety we can speak, pray and act with confidence and authority. |
