Summary
Timeless and moral economic wisdom for life's choices and changes derived from the parables of the New Testament. In The Economics of the Parables, Rev. Robert Sirico pulls back the veil of modernity to reveal the timeless economic wisdom of the parables. Thirteen central stories--including "The Laborers in the Vineyard," "The Rich Fool," "The Five Talents," and "The Faithful Steward"--Serve as his guide, revealing practical lessons in caring for the poor, stewarding wealth, distributing inheritances, navigating income disparities, and resolving family tensions. As contemporary as any business manual and sure to outlast them, The Economics of the Parables equips any economically informed reader to uncover the enduring financial truths of the parables in a reasonable, sensible, and life-empowering manner
