We continue our interview with Dr. Robert P. Murphy, a Christian as well as an economist in the branch of Austrian Economics.

In this second part of the interview, Dr. Murphy talks about where economic truth derives from.  If the Fall never occurred would economic principles still stand? Then we talk about some of the weird stances people can have when applying economic principles to other parts of their lives.

Dr. Murphy and Patrick have a discussion on the similarities Austrian Economics has with Presuppositional Apologetics.  Dr. Murphy gives some advice to Christians from an economic standpoint & encourages other Christians to learn economics as part of God’s ordered universe.

Plus, Patrick pretty much swoons over Dr. Murphy.
