The course will introduce the student to economics. We will bring economics and ethics that have been separated far too long, back together. We will examine three basic assumptions of economics (self-interest, economic efficiency and private property rights) from a Christian perspective. We will dig deeper into: Macroeconomic issues (economic growth, the role of government in the economy, over employment, lending and borrowing); Microeconomic issues (poverty and distributive justice, environmental stewardship, business and social responsibility, gambling, pornography); International issues (debt relief, immigration, population control).
