We are absolutely proud to present to you this interview done with Dr. Robert P. Murphy!
One of the desires of our show is to promote the truth that God reigns over every aspect of creation. One of those areas is even economics. Sadly, many Christians do not understand the importance of economics and are intimidated by the subject – much like philosophy. Dr. Murphy is a Christian as well as an economist well known in the branch of Austrian Economics.
In this first part of the interview, Dr. Murphy talks about what economics is and why Christians should care. We also discuss the fact that the Christian worldview accounts for economic theories. We also talk about the application of Austrian Economic theory, a theory based on presuppositional claims, when it comes to showing that slavery is not only immoral but a terrible economic decision.
