AB  - While Christian social principles harmonize with certain premisses
of microeconomic theory, private property and freedom of behaviour for
instance, deep‐rooted differences call for recasting certain foundations
and pieces of analysis. Broad dissent concerns positive versus normative
approach, the holistic character of Christian thought, and the latter′s
view of human behaviour as flawed and often sinful. Discusses six more
specific areas of dissent: consumer behaviour; the firm; income
distribution; welfare economics; market failure and government, and
public choice. The Christian mind requires revision of conventional
treatments, since present microeconomic discussion is subversive of a
religious interpretation of life.
