Compassion Economics
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The biggest concern of modern people, the economy! In this age of hunger for fairness and justice, The message found in the Old Testament is proclaimed. Economic inequality is deepening, and fairness and justice have emerged as the hot topics of the times. The author analyzes the present age with a keen eye and presents the core values and principles of the economics of mercy that permeate ancient Mesopotamian civilization, the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Ten Commandments (the First Commandment). This is not the economics of endless competition, but the economics of the kingdom of God for recovery. The author also leads the discussion of basic income as an alternative to socioeconomic recovery. This book poses a major question to the religious community in today's society. This book is useful to those who desire a healthy economic community, especially Christians who seek to engage in economic activities as an expression of their faith in God, as well as to economics and management students and policy makers. |

Into the book
Israel was a special territory where God's rule over the earth was intensively and exemplarily demonstrated.
The people of Israel were themselves a product of God's practice of justice and righteousness (Psalm 103:6).
This is because the Exodus salvation was an event that proclaimed to all the world that the Creator God, the God of Israel, is a God of justice and righteousness.
The liberation of the oppressed implied punishment of the oppressors.
God's mercy to liberate and redeem the 'poor,' who represent the oppressed, is concentrated in the ideas of the Sabbath, the Sabbath year, and the Jubilee.
The Sabbath, the Sabbath day, the Sabbath year, and the Jubilee are the permanent concerns of God the Creator.
These cannot be the interests of employers, oppressors, or landlords.
---From the "Preface"
* Our basic income theory inherits the tradition of the Old Testament's laws of social equity and mercy, and presupposes the universal right to the land.
Ultimately, the national basic income is the most comprehensive application of the principle of Deuteronomy 15:11.
From this emerges the principle that no citizen should be excluded or alienated from the fruits of the land of the Republic of Korea.
