Reviews

[Dan Griswold · Rating 3 out of 5]

A clearly written exposition of basic economic principles and why they are important, not just to the economy but to human society. I marked it with 3 stars only because it was written more for an audience that is skeptical of economics and/or not very familiar with its basic concepts.

Libro #9 del 2025, done! En una época donde muchos cristianos (especialmente en el campamento reformado) se inclinan hacia la izquierda del centro, este libro puede ser de gran ayuda para pastores y líderes que quieran formarse en conceptos básicos de economía. Great book by Samuel Gregg!!

[Jovi Dacanay · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read for those in economics and at the same time are interested in the natural law and theological foundations of economics. The discussion on the contributions of late scholastic thought to economics is very interesting and revealing.

A useful introduction to economic concepts, especially as they are related to moral concerns.

This book offers a good review of economics. It offers little insights into economics from a Christian perspective, and I think it would make good textbook for a class on the subject.
