Money, Greed, And God 10th Anniversary Edition

Description

An updated anniversary edition of the classic work that made the Christian case for capitalism, expanding and deepening the pioneering vision of entrepreneurship as a Christian pursuit. Ten years ago, Jay Richards, the New York Times bestselling author and Research Assistant Professor in the Busch School of Business at The Catholic University of America, introduced Christians to a new way of thinking about capitalism. He presented an alternative to the dualistic view that Christianity has cast on this economic system—all good or all evil—and revealed the surprising ways that capitalism is actually the best way to follow Jesus's mandates to alleviate poverty and protect the earth. Now, this special anniversary edition has been updated with new research and commentary specific to our current economic landscape, including up-to-date case studies. Richards expands his Christian case for capitalism, considering issues that have come to the forefront in the past decade because of the financial crisis, including entrepreneurship, the debate over socialism and capitalism, and how millennials are influencing the market. In doing so, he reaffirms how entrepreneurial enterprise—a pursuit based on hard work, honesty, and trust—aligns with core Christian values today.
