Is God an Economist? : An Institutional Economic Reconstruction of the Old Testament

by Sigmund Wagner-Tsukamoto

This book offers a radical new way of approaching the Old Testament. Sigmund Wagner-Tsukamoto argues that rational, institutional and constitutional economic lessons can be derived from the Old Testament, with applications to social conflict and resolution. The book suggests that this religious text also anticipated many modern economic advances
