On the Theological Coordinates of Economics

Abstract

Economists often exchange two coordinates—one is the human coordinate, and the other is the divine coordinate—but they do not realize it, which causes much confusion. The purpose of this chapter is to clearly point out that economics has a theological coordinate, and because space-time is infinite and multidimensional, there is no cost. However, in this theological coordinate, rules exist to promote cost savings because, in any part, space-time and resources are limited but do not prevent the universe from having an infinite number of such parts from the perspective of God. With theological coordinates, human beings can build up families, societies, and religions to lengthen their time dimension as a whole.
