Kurzbiographie
Jay Wesley Richards is an American analytic philosopher who focuses on the intersection of politics, philosophy, and religion. He is the William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow in Heritage’s DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at The Heritage Foundation. He served as an adjunct professor in the School of Business at the Catholic University of America and the executive editor of The Stream and senior fellow at the Discovery Institute. A former Presbyterian, Richards is now a Catholic.
Jay Richards graduated from Southwestern University, where he received a B.A. with majors in political science and religion. He received a Master of Theology (Th.M.) degree from Calvin Theological Seminary and a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree from Union Presbyterian Seminary. His Ph.D. is in philosophy and theology from Princeton Theological Seminary.
Richards is author or editor of more than a dozen books,[4] including the New York Times bestsellers Infiltrated (2013) and Indivisible (2012); The Human Advantage; Money, Greed, and God, winner of a 2010 Templeton Enterprise Award; The Hobbit Party with Jonathan Witt; and Eat, Fast, Feast.

Richards was a fellow at the Institute for Faith, Work & Economics and the program director of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture (CSC). He was the first fellow at the Discovery Institute to confirm the genuineness of the Wedge document. Science organizations then paid attention to the institute after the document was published online, but Richards wrote "that the mission statement and goals had been posted on the CRSC's website since 1996." Richards has expressed climate change denial.

In January 2008, at Stanford University, Jay Richards had a debate with a leading atheist, Christopher Hitchens, on the topic: Atheism vs. Theism and The Scientific Evidence of Intelligent Design. It was moderated by Ben Stein. The debate led up to the release of Ben Stein's movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.

Richards taught an apologetics course at Biola University. He has worked for the Acton Institute and is the executive editor of The Stream.

Well-written, concise summary with many interesting factoids, not just about the biology of fasting but also about the history of Christianity.

An excellent and simple explanation and demonstration of how and why capitalism in a free market is the best economic and political system in the world, which enables the private sector to own and create wealth for itself. Though dated (pub. 2009), nothing has changed!

The message in this book is for Christians to see how God has His hand in this economic system, and that they should naturally reject the world's ignorant view that capitalism is greedy, encourages theft, and that Christians can't be capitalists. Unfortunately, many Christians have adopted this worldview and falsely think the world can offer a better method of wealth creation and the impact on poverty.

Hopefully, Mr. Richards can change some minds...and hearts!!!

The Price of Panic offers clarifying insight into the role experts play in public policy and leadership, and injects some realistic thinking into the problems mass culture is going to face more of as the years go by. The books highlights some lessons learned even at this point; lessons which we should take seriously going forward.

"Prior to the panic, authorities such as the WHO could be quite candid about what they didn't know. But when widespread panic set in, and everyone expected experts to render prompt and precise answers, they seemed to have a hard time admitting, 'We don't know.' Next time, instead of expecting them to admit that, just assume it."

Great stuff.
