#013: Eden and Economics

Join Nick and Austin as they talk about economics, socialism, capitalism, and even Christmas traditions. In this episode, they explore how economics has shaped 21st century Christians. We all live in an "economy," but how does that shape who we are? Is there a perfect system? Nick and Austin share their experiences as economics teachers (in very different settings!) and some ways we can "restore" parts of our economy to better reflect a Christian worldview.
