Abstract

An academic method, derived from Jewish doctrine, is proposed as an alternative to government‐imposed economic principles. A logical code of behaviour could be substituted for the current scenario, financial and economic, bedevilled as it is by government intrusion. This ideal and its practical application are discussed in relation to Hebrew teachings.
