This new book examines the way in which our world is rapidly becoming a single "global village." The result of this trend is twofold-nations with nearly unlimited resources are gaining even greater power and wealth, while others are sinking deeper into poverty. 
Originally delivered as a Kuyper Lecture, this book challenges Christians to live responsibly, so that all of God's people are treated with economic justice. Following Goudzwaard's thoughts are critiques by associate professor of economics Dr. Brian Fikkert (Covenant College); professor of economic philosophy Dr. Adolfo García de la Sienra (University of Veracruz, Mexico); and Larry Reed, who works with issues of global poverty through OPPORTUNITY International Network. A conclusion by editor James W. Skillen charts a course for those who want to act globally on the basis of a biblical worldview.

Economists have long grappled with the problem of how economic theories relate to empirical evidence: how can abstract mathematized theories be used to produce empirical claims? How are such theories applied to economic phenomena? What does it mean to “test” economic theories? This book introduces, explains, and develops a structural philosophy of economics which addresses these questions and provides a unifying philosophical/logical basis for a general methodology of economics. The book begins by introducing a rigorous view of the logical foundations and structure of scientific theories based upon the work of Alfred Tarski, Patrick Suppes, Karl Marx, and others. Using and combining their methods, the book then goes on to reconstruct important economic theories – including utility theory, game theory, Marxian economics, Sraffian economic theory, and econometrics – proving all the main theorems and discussing the key claims and the empirical applicability of each theory. Through these discussions, this book presents, in a systematic fashion, a general philosophy of economics grounded in the structural view. Offering rigorous formulations of important economic theories, A Structuralist Theory of Economics will be invaluable to all readers interested in the logic, philosophy, and methodology of economics. It will also appeal particularly to those interested in economic theory.
