Overview
When one hears the word “economics,” it is easy to conjure up images of charts, graphs, and spreadsheets. One might think of traders, clamoring to buy and sell various stocks from companies that the normal man has never even heard of or seen. Or, more likely, they might think of accountants, crunching away numbers in a cubicle, trying to balance budgets.
This, however, is not the reality for Art Carden and Caleb Fuller. In their book, Mere Economics, these professors do more than simply discuss the realities of economic theory. They highlight the reality that there is a Christian case for one’s involvement in the economy. Mere Economics points to the basic principles of economic theory with a tone that is conversational and inviting, with the hope that the everyday Christian will not only discover helpful insight into the world of economics, but will find within it the call for responsibility and stewardship.
