A Christian View of Economics in the Age of AI

And I appreciate your time today to help walk me through much of this encyclical from an economic perspective, but also just opening up these core laws and principles and to our listeners.

So I mean if you're interested in a good economically sound approach to environmentalism and – Because

conservationism –
