About this listen

What can a theologian contribute to economics? In this episode, Dr Mary Hirschfeld tells her academic story which starts with a PhD in economics at Harvard, takes a major turn through a conversion to Catholicism, and arrives at an anthropological critique of traditional economics from a Christian perspective. Dr Hirschfeld explains how the unspoken assumptions about human rationality made by economists can be critiqued, resulting in an economic vision which is both more compatible with Christianity and more accurate in its approach towards economic success.
