The Family Economy: Discovering the Family as It Was Designed to Work
This book is our attempt to give families a starting point—and plenty of inspiration—to begin building their own home economies. It distills years of teaching, writing, and studying the family economy into a practical resource. We truly believe the answer to our society’s most pressing needs can only come from families, and it can only start at home. 80 pages, $18 hardcover, $12 softcover (discounts down to $8).
