Apostles & Markets, written by Stephen Haessler, Ph. D. presents a set of twelve lessons designed for use by Catholic and Christian educators in various subject areas including economics and theology. As the title implies, the lessons address the teaching of economics in a special way — in light of faith and reason, with reference to principles from Catholic social doctrine and to concepts from the economic way of thinking.
Apostles & Markets was originally published in 2007 by The Robert and Marie Hansen Foundation, an organization that seeks to unlock human potential by supporting freedom grounded by faith, a free economy, personal responsibility, and limited government. The Foundation offered important support for the writing of these lessons, through a generous grant to the author. It is to Robert and Marie Hansen that this work has been dedicated.
Currently, Apostles & Markets has partnered with The Freedom and Prosperity Academy to offer new lessons, educational media, and teacher workshops for teachers of economics, social studies, ethics and theology. The Freedom and Prosperity Academy will continue to support A & M and make new materials available online that continue the mission of combining an appreciation of economics and Catholic social teaching.
