Welcome to the podcast Think Biblical, Conversations on Faith and Culture.

I'm your host Scott Ray, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Christian Ethics, Talbot School

of Theology at Biola University.

We're here with our guest today, economist Dr. Ann Bradley,

who serves in a variety of different roles.

She is the academic director for the Fund for American Studies.

She is the Vice President of Economic Initiatives at the Institute for Faith, Work in Economics,

both of those in Washington, D.C.

She is taught at George Mason University, Georgetown University, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic,

and she's got a number of other things on her resume that would take much too long to go into in detail.

She is the editor and contributor of two terrific books.

One is called Counting the Cost, Christian perspectives on capitalism, and the other was is because the

entitled for the least of these a biblical answer to poverty.

I've read them both both terrific books and I know that the job of

editing is a lot sometimes a lot more complicated than actually writing and

tribute or contributing to these.

So Anne, thank you so much for being with us.

I really appreciate you taking time to come on with us today.

Thanks for having me, Scott, excited to be here.

We're gonna we're gonna hear a lot of people talking about economic inequality from a variety of different perspectives.

So maybe this would be the place to start.
