Since then, we have read the book every fall to initiate new members. Because all members, past and present, have read the book, it serves as a helpful reference throughout a year’s M&M discussion. It is not uncommon to hear something like “well, basically the counterargument to that is Chapter 8 Money Greed, and God.” or “I wonder how this fits with Richards’ argument in Chapter 2?” It is a thorough and accessible introduction to thinking faithfully about economics and economic systems and a great resource for groups who want to share a basis in economic first principles. While I haven’t read the new edition yet, it’s in my queue, and I expect it will be another rewarding read.
