Editing Gary North (economist) (section)

===Christian, Bible-based economic methodology===
North wrote that the "starting point for all economic analysis" lies in accepting that "God [has] cursed the earth" in the [[Book of Genesis]] 3:17–19; this "made scarcity an inescapable fact of man's existence".<ref name=":1" /> In his 1982 ''Dominion Covenant: Genesis'', North wrote that mainstream modern economics, whether libertarian, conservative or liberal, is "in disintegration" because it is "humanist" in its approach and consequently rejects the notion that "biblical revelation" is necessary for sound economic theory. He also wrote that economics "must begin with the [Biblical] story of creation" if it is not to collapse into "total chaos".<ref name="garynorth">{{Cite web |title=Dominion Covenant: Genesis |url=http://www.garynorth.com/freebooks/docs/2222_47e.htm |access-date=2023-05-17 |website=www.garynorth.com}}</ref>
