Economics for Everybody

Description

Economics for Everybody: Applying Biblical Principles to Work, Wealth, and the World asserts that Christian theology, philosophy, and economics are inescapably interwoven and influence each other. The 12 units, complete with 20 minute digital lectures, succinctly provide reading material, scriptural support, lecture outlines, short answer and discussion questions, and additional reading suggestions, which help students pursue topical interests.

The Study Guide is required, but comes included in the lifetime Digital Streaming for a complete introductory 1/2 credit course. Print versions of the student book are available separately. The course lectures and reading comprise the main course content. After listening to the lectures, students read the student book and process the information via discussion and short answer questions provided via PDF. Answers are not included. For a full-year, upper-level course that delves deeper into more traditional economics concepts, add the suggested Basic Economics, 4^th Edition textbook.
