Dr. Grudem will be speaking on the topic of his latest book, The Poverty of Nations: A Sustainable Solution. Poverty of the Nations makes a robust proposal for fighting poverty on a national level. The solution lies in a comprehensive development plan that integrates the principles of a free market system with the Bible's teachings on social ethics. Speaking to the importance of personal freedom, the rule of law, private property, moral virtue, and education, this book offers a clear path for promoting economic prosperity and safeguarding a country's long-term stability — a sustainable solution for a world looking for the way forward.
