Description:
Every 14-year-old, and anybody going out into the world needs to know the basics on inflation, fractional reserve banking, quantitative easing, Keynesian economics, and what really makes a healthy economy. But mostly, each and every young person heading out into life needs to know how the world runs and their part in it. This simple introduction presents the basics with about 10% dedicated to explaining the macro-economy, and the other 90% tying in the practical elements of the micro-economy.
What is success, biblically speaking, and how does one achieve success in business?
How does one sell products and services with Christian integrity?
How would a young person pay off a house by 26 years of age?
How does the believer get along with difficult people in the workplace, or exemplify a Joseph-attitude in the work place?
What is the best way to save money? What are the best investments, biblically speaking?
But, most importantly, this handbook brings the irrefutable wisdom of God’s Word into the all-important study of economics. The wise built his house, which would include his household economy upon the rock of Jesus’s words. To ignore the wisdom of God in economics would precipitate a “great fall.” If there was ever a time to bring hundreds of relevant biblical truths back into our economics lessons, that time would be now. Whether building or rebuilding, here is the place to begin—on the foundation of divine revelation for every household economy.
这是一本为 14 岁以上青少年编写、以圣经世界观为基础的经济与个人理财入门书，帮助即将进入成人世界的年轻人了解经济如何运作，以及自己在工作、金钱和社会中的责任。
本书约 10% 介绍宏观经济的基本概念，包括通货膨胀、部分准备金银行制度、量化宽松、凯恩斯经济学等；其余约 90% 则着重与日常生活密切相关的个人经济、工作和理财实践.
书中探讨许多年轻人将来实际会面对的问题，例如：
- 从圣经角度来看，什么是真正的成功？
- 如何以基督徒的诚信经营事业、销售产品和提供服务？
- 怎样建立良好的储蓄、消费和理财习惯？
- 应当怎样看待投资、债务和购房？
- 在职场遇到难相处的人时，应当怎样回应？
- 如何像约瑟一样，在工作中表现出忠心、智慧和敬虔的品格？
本书最大的特色，是把神话语中的原则带入经济、工作和金钱管理。作者强调，经济学不仅关乎数字和市场，也与一个人的价值观、家庭责任、工作态度、诚信以及如何管理神所托付的资源密切相关。
本书希望帮助年轻人在进入社会之前，不仅掌握基本的经济与理财知识，也学习以圣经的智慧来看待金钱、工作、成功和财富管理.
