Economics in Christian Perspective:
Theory, Policy and Life Choices

In 2007, IVP Academic published Economics in Christian Perspective:  Theory, Policy and Life Choices, a book that I wrote with my friend Robin Klay. 

The book is now in its fifth printing, and is now being translated for publication and sale in China.

Here is a review by Samuel Gregg, and here is one by John Anderson. And Scott Rae talks about it here.





My dear friend Robin:

Fair Trade?
Its Prospects as a Poverty Solution

http://fairtradeandfreetrade.com

In 2010, the Acton Institute published Fair Trade? Its Prospects as a Poverty Solution.  The monograph is part of Acton's Studies in Christian Social Ethics and Economics series, edited by Anthony B. Bradley. The book has been translated into both the Polish and Spanish languages.

From the publisher's description:

"Fair Trade is an enormously popular idea in Christian and secular circles alike. Who, after all, could be against fairness? Victor V. Claar, however, raises significant economic and moral questions about both the logic and economic reasoning underlying the fair trade movement. In this monograph, Claar suggests that, for all its good intentions, fair trade may not be of particular service to the poor, especially in the developing world."
