Economic parables are those stories told by Jesus in the New Testament which teach about work, income, the free-market, and self-sufficiency.
Examples
Understood by Jesus' followers
In 2 Thess. 3:8-10, Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus worked for their bread rather than expecting charity, and give the self-sufficiency maxim "if any man won't work, he won't eat."
