Title: The Economic Mechanism of Scripture - the Cure for the World Crises
Description: London: Williams & Norgate Ltd, 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. "This book is the first to make a serious and authoritative analysis of the monetary and economic mechanism of Scripture. Likewise, of its relationship to the World Crises, in the past and present. Part I deals with the ancient period ending with the Apostles, and in Chapter IX there is a summary of the monetary and economic system rejected by Israel. Part 2 deals with the modern period, and in the final chapter there is a summary of the reforms that would be necessary before the world could be cured of its present [Great Depression-era] difficulties." - dust jacket. "In writing this book I have set out to demonstrate that the causes which have produced the present world depression are an inheritance from the past, and that they come within the category of evils to which copious references are made in the Law and the Prophets, and which brought about the disperion of Israel and Judah to the nations." - Preface. xvi, [3]-381, [2 ads] pp. Index-Synopsis.
