“The Redemptive Economy – Redeeming People, Land, Business, and Systems” is a bold and prophetic manifesto for one of the most urgent challenges of our time : rebuilding the global economy on God’s original design.
 
In an age defined by widening inequality, systemic injustice, broken governance, and exploitative financial structures, this book argues that the world does not need another economic theory — it needs a redemptive one. Drawing deeply from Scripture, history, and contemporary realities, Thabo Mahlobo reveals how ancient biblical principles can transform modern economic systems, restore dignity to people, and unlock the God-given potential of nations.
 
From Eden’s original blueprint to the Jubilee model, from Babylonian capitalism to the rise of digital economies, Mahlobo traces the battle of ideas that shape wealth, power, and society. He then lays out a visionary 12-pillar framework for building economies that reflect the values of the Kingdom — where land is stewarded, families are restored, education empowers, healthcare heals, entrepreneurship thrives, and governance serves the common good.
More than a critique of what is broken, this book is a roadmap for what is possible. It calls for a radical rethinking of finance — from speculative markets to “The Lion’s Market” — and envisions new forms of government, public finance, technology, and innovation rooted in justice, equity, and purpose. It challenges the Church to reclaim its role as the ekklesia — shaping culture, discipling nations, and designing systems that reflect heaven on earth.
 
Written for leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, pastors, reformers, and visionaries, The Redemptive Economy is both a theological exploration and a practical guide. It speaks to the future of Africa and the destiny of nations — proclaiming that the time for incremental reform is over and the era of kingdom-led reformation has begun.
 
The question is not whether God will move — He already is. The question is - Will we build with Him?
