description: While much progress has been made toward poverty alleviation many well-intentioned efforts have led Christians to actions that are not only ineffective but leave the most vulnerable in a worse situation than before. Is there a better answer? Combining biblical exegesis with proven economic principles For the Least of A Biblical Answer to Poverty equips Christians with both a solid biblical and economic understanding of how best to care for the poor and foster sustainable economic development. With contributions from fifteen leading Christian economists theologians historians and practitioners For the Least of These presents the case for why markets and trade are the worlds best hope for alleviating poverty.
