Christian Economics – The Integration of Capitalism, Socialism and Laborism addresses the application of Christian principles to business and economics both in theory and in practice.  From an economics system point of view Christian Economics integrates capitalism, socialism and laborism eliminating the excesses of each and proposing a system which seeks to maximize economic value and wealth for virtually all people.

Christian Economics promotes justice, fairness, balance, cooperation, and mutual respect within business, economics and politics and is based on three principles: good is to be done and promoted and evil is to be avoided; love your neighbor as yourself and the absolute dignity of each and every human being. 

How is the Christian mandate to love your neighbor as yourself to be applied in business, economics and politics?   How does God want people to act within their jobs, their businesses, their business transactions, how they treat employees, how they pay employees, how they treat business subordinates, how they deal with tenants, how they set prices, how they deal with other businesses, what they sell, how they market their products and services, how they advertise, and what is the quality and safety of their products and services?

Christian Economics covers both macro and micro economics based on the three principles: good is to be done and promoted and evil is to be avoided; love your neighbor as yourself and the absolute dignity of each and every human being. Among the many topics discussed are: Pricing and Just Price Principles; Interest; The Relationship between Capital and Labor; Imports, Outsourcing and the Economy; Corporations; Capitalism, Socialism and Laborism; The Good of All the People, the Objective of the Economy; The dignity and excellence of labor; The Nation: A Community: One for All and All for One; True Patriotism and the Economy; The Principle of Economic Self-Sufficiency; Investment – Yes! Speculation – No!; Property: private and common/community; The Balanced Economy Principle; The Most Appropriate Economic System - Socialistic Capitalism or Capitalistic Socialism; Economic Checks and Balances.

Christian Economics is a must read for every person who considers themselves Christian.  Christianity is more than praying, attending church services, proclamations of faith, singing hymns, receiving sacraments and performing religious practices.  Christianity is a way of life and extends to every facet of a person’s everyday life including their business, economic, and political lives. 

The US economy is in crisis, the World economy is in crisis and these crises are getting worse because business and economics are devoid of Christian principles.  The solution is for Christians to start applying Christian economics to their business lives, their economic lives, and their political lives.  This is the mandate of Jesus Christ: to love your neighbor as yourself in your business life, your economic life, and your political life.
