We will recover from the Coronavirus recession if we have one thing: Policies That Promote Production.

Everyone wants to recover the good economy from a few months ago.  Christian Economists want to redeem the economy.

Economists practice “The Dismal Science,” and we don’t know what’s going to happen.  But,  three days before Easter, we are sure of the resurrection.  The podcast begins by stating it was recorded April 2.  That is incorrect.  It was recorded on April 9.

Work is part of God’s creational intent.  When work is our worship, we want to do more of it.

The Value of Statistical Life branch of economics helps Christians understand the balance between life and work, when faced with difficult questions about shelter-at-home policies as opposed to returning to work.

Economics is the study of the means of production and distribution of products and services in a scarce environment.  In the midst of the probable recession caused by the Coronavirus, we are reminded: None of the means of production nor distribution were destroyed.

Christians should support less active Monetary and Fiscal policy.

The US has the most progressive income tax system in the world.  It cares for widows and orphans, who pay negative taxes.

Should we pay taxes?  How?  And how much?  The answers are not as obvious as you might think.

If you love your neighbor, you will provide consumer surplus, which makes them richer.  If you love yourself, you will make a profit, which makes you richer.
