Sabbath Economics, which can be shortened to SabbEcon, is a culturally ambiguous (tending to be progressive), Christian or Christian-based, economically center-left to left-wing economic ideology who attempts to apply Biblical Sabbath to socioeconomics. Some takings from the Sabbath concept include the Sabbath day and year, as well as the Year of Jubilee (when gracious acts such as debt forgiveness were put forth). The thought is based on elimination of "the fundamental patterns and structures of stratified wealth and power" so that resources may be evenly dispersed, asserting its rootedness in the "grace of receiving that which the Creator gives", as well as "responsibility to not take too much, nor to mistake the gift as a possession."

SabbEcon's line of thought can be summed up in three axioms:

1. God's Creation is abundant, so, providing that individuals in their communities are capable and willing to restrain their greed and live within limits, there is enough resources for everyone living in it
2. The disparities and polarities found within both wealth and power are only natural in regards to man's sin, and therefore must be mitigated through community efforts of regular redistribution
3. The prophetic Message calls individuals, especially Christians, to engage in such voluntary redistribution of wealth, thusly characterized as "good news" to those living in poverty and/or other unfortunate conditions.

SabbEcon claims the reason his principles are immediately dubbed so unfamiliar in the First World and the West is rooted in its marginalization by the mainstream Christian Right's legitimization of the very debt system he sees the Bible as explicitly denouncing.

Personality

SabbEcon is extremely shy, often contemplating his ideals' immediate judgement in the eyes of capitalists and mainstream Christians alike. Despite this, he's very happy to justify himself to anyone who asks.
