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

of Theology at viola University. We're here with our guest today Dr. Jennifer Morse

who is the founder and director of the Ruth Institute. She has her background is in economics

has a PhD from the University of Rochester and is

Tautomix has a PhD from the University of Rochester and is taught at both George Mason and at

Yale until leaving that to found the Ruth Institute and she

functions as its full-time sort of face and director today.

She's widely sought after speaker, media expert, a handful of terrific books. If you listen you listen to our podcast regularly you may recall

we had her on recently for her newer book called the Sexual State. I want to talk to her

today about a book that's been out for a while but is really important stuff. It's got just so

much insightful stuff that I want our listeners to get access to. So the book is entitled

Love and Economics and it turns Hillary Clinton on her head a bit by suggesting

that it takes a family to raise a village, not the other way around.

So Jennifer, welcome welcome thank you for being with us and for taking the time to talk to us oh I'm glad to be on your show thank you so tell us a little bit about and I suspect that there's a bit of a backstory behind the book Love and Economics.
