In today’s episode, I want us to think about economic policies. To help in that, I’ll share two parables.
One reason that parables are powerful is that they can teach different lessons to different people, and even teach different lessons to the same people when considered at different times. A parable can have a primary meaning or lesson but may also teach or convey additional lessons.
The two parables I am about to share are from the New Testament portion of the Bible, specifically, the Book of Matthew. The primary topic of the parables is the Kingdom of Heaven. But the parables also teach important lessons about business, labor, rights, money, and contracts.
Whether you are religious or not, Christian or not, they can help frame principles that can be used to decide what government should and should not do.
