Synopsis :

The whole world has a stake in the war against poverty and leaders across the globe are looking for a permanent solution. That’s why economist Barry Asmus and theologian Wayne Grudem have teamed up to outline a robust proposal for fighting poverty on a national level. These two experts believe the solution lies in a comprehensive development plan that integrates the principles of a free market system with the Bible’s teachings on social ethics. Speaking to the importance of personal freedom, the rule of law, private property, moral virtue, and education, this book offers a clear path for promoting economic prosperity and safeguarding a country’s long-term stability—a sustainable solution for a world looking for the way forward.

• Combines penetrating economic and historical analysis with biblical teachings to arrive at a holistic approach to combating world poverty
• Explores 78 key factors that contribute to wealth or poverty within a nation including the role of government, the importance of personal freedom, the nature of work, and the foundations of morality
• Discusses sensitive topics such as slavery, socialism, and communism
• Written for both a Christian and non-Christian audience
