7 Deadly Economic Sins

<p>You’ve heard of the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. Each is a natural and recurring human weakness that impedes happiness. In addition to these vices, however, there are deadly economic “sins.” They, too, wreak havoc in both our personal lives and in society. They can seem intuitively compelling, yet lead to waste and lost prosperity. Dylan Pahman, Acton’s research fellow and executive editor of the Journal of Markets and Morality, sat down with James R. Otteson, author of "Seven Deadly Economic Sins," to discuss his lecture on this very topic during Acton University 2022. </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.acton.org/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Subscribe to our podcasts</strong></a></p><p> </p><p>‘<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Deadly-Economic-Sins-Prosperity/dp/1108843379/ref=asc_df_1108843379/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=509245866633&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12864542880384374306&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9017518&hvtargid=pla-1153361450788&psc=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seven Deadly Economic Sins’</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://university.acton.org/faculty/james-r-otteson-phd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">About James R.
