Mark and Doug are two Christian economists seeking to combine economics and theology in a fun, thoughtful, and inviting fashion. The name of the blog is a reference to Jesus' admonition to his disciples to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves" (Matthew 10:16) when going forth into the world. We hope you join the conversation.

Could Not Have Said It Better
Brad Hansen, our co-author on Wise As Serpents, brought this video to our attention. It is part of the launch of a new initiative called povertycure.org which is designed to bring entrepreneurial solutions to issues of economic development, particularly in Africa. In the video, the narrator says that is it easy to have a heart for helping the poor, but harder to have the mind to do so. This is very much the motivation behind the FSU course on the Economics of Compassion. Best wishes to them in their efforts.
