What Does a Christian Vision for Economic Justice Require of United States Policy Regarding Taxation and Government Spending?

Panel Session
Monday, Jan. 4, 2021 12:15 PM – 2:15 PM (EST)
Chair: Steven McMullen, Hope College

Abstract
Some of the biggest ethical debates about economic policy focus on fiscal policy. Sharp disagreements about tax policy and government spending, for example, are often the result of very different conceptions of justice. In this interdisciplinary panel, four scholars with diverse academic backgrounds and from different Christian traditions examine the connections between Christian conceptions of economic justice and contemporary policy choices. The panel participants include scholars specializing in macroeconomics, public finance, ethics, and theology. The session will include prepared remarks by each participant and time for questions.

Panelists
Enoch Hill, Wheaton College
John Anderson, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Christina McRorie, Creighton University
Daniel Finn, St. John’s University and College of St. Benedict

JEL Classifications
