“Our information about that has to come from men whose minds have been steeped in Scripture, but who also have learned what constitutes a valid argument from Aristotle, who have learned how pins are made from Adam Smith, who have realized through natural revelation that the law of supply and demand cannot be repealed by Congress any more than the law of gravity can be, and who have studied the history of theology and economics.”
