Argues that in trying to reduce human behaviour to mere exchanges, modern economists have lost sight of the importance of social relationships: as gifts. This reapplies economic thought as articulated by Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas, covering everything from unemployment, to inflation, to the economics of parenthood, to flaws in the mega-bestseller Freakonomics.
