Category: Economics & Finance

The Economics & Finance section of American Life examines the systems, ideas, and cultural forces that shape money, markets, and material life in the United States. It explores how economic behavior, consumer culture, debt, labor, and financial institutions reflect deeper philosophical and spiritual assumptions about value, purpose, and human life.

From personal finance and household economics to broader questions of capitalism, inequality, and modern financial systems, these essays offer a critical lens on how economic life shapes—and is shaped by—American culture and belief.
