A Biblical Path for a Prosperous Society

Summary
This book examines what Deuteronomy has to say about human rights and the role of government, culture, and investment in creating a flourishing and prosperous society. By exploring the political-economic principles Deuteronomy lays out as well as other parts of the Bible, Baugus argues that those principles are still applicable today and can be valuable in helping developing nations to become prosperous and in helping developed nations, many of which seem to have lost sight of these principles, stay that way. Milk and Honey will be of interest to scholars and students who are curious about what the ancient foundational texts of Western civilization have to say about prosperity, growth, and what a flourishing political economy looks like.
