Science helps us in understanding the Torah. Gresham’s Law in economics helps to the understand a mishna in Bava Metzia. הזהב קונה את הכסף, gold acquires silver because silver becomes the currency and gold a commodity. Why? Gresham’s Law says, bad money drives out good money from circulation. The bad money here is silver which becomes currency, being spent and gold will be horded and not spent becoming a commodity.
