Economic Inequality and Crony Capitalism (with Anne Bradley)

It seems that every time an election season comes around, candidates decry growing economic inequality and demand for solutions to "make things more equal."

She also serves as visiting Professor of Economics at Georgetown University and George Mason University. She the author/editor of Counting the Cost: Christian Perspectives on Capitalism, For the Least of These: A Biblical Answer to Poverty and Be Fruitful and Multiply: Why Economics is Necessary for Making God-Pleasing Decisions.  Read a transcript of this episode at: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/think-biblically/2019/economic-inequality-and-crony-capitalism  ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at [email protected].
