Economic utopia of the Torah. Economic concepts of the Hebrew Bible interpreted according to the Rabbinical Literature
No full textHebrew Bible offers alternative Economic utopia for building Theocratic society. In this paper, various economic concepts and themes are presented, as found in the Hebrew Bible. These economic concepts include taxation, property rights, labor market, social policy, banking, years of Sabbath and Jubilee, and business cycles. Most economic issues of the Bible are found in the texts of Torah, also known as five Books of Moses. These texts are analyzed by using classical Rabbinical commentaries for better insight. Contrary to the modern Economic theory which is based on the assumptions of scarcity of resources and unlimited needs of consumers, Economics of the Torah is based on God’s resources which are enough for all true needs of His people.Hebrew Bible, History of Economics, History of Economic Thought, Ancient Israel, Judaism

A Conversation with New York Times Columnist and Author, Thomas Friedman
No full textThomas Friedman, Pulitzer-prize winning author and New York Times columnist, will discuss his new book, That Used to Be Us: How American Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back, on Friday, September 9, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota’s Ted Mann Concert Hall located at 2128 4th Street S. Minneapolis. Professor Larry Jacobs will give the introduction.
Thomas Friedman analyzes the challenges facing America today-globalization, the revolution in information technology, the nation’s chronic deficits, and its pattern of energy consumption – and spells out what we need to do now.That Used to Be Us explains how the paralysis of our political system and the erosion of key American values have made it impossible for us to carry out the policies our country needs. Friedman shows how our history, when properly understood, provides the solutions for renewal if we can get back to the formula that made us successful as a country in every previous historical turn.
Friedman will sign copies of his book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. Reserved seating and priority signing placement is available for the first 250 customers who purchase That Used to Be Us from the University of Minnesota Bookstore in store or online.
