The Great Economic Debate

Many times in our discussion of current events, we have paused in WorldMovers class to review the scriptures on the use of money. There is no doubt that (1) our culture is obsessed with the economy; (2) much of the motivation is individual greed. 

A recent debate at Messiah College pitted Jim Wallis of Sojourners against Arthur Brook of the American Enterprise Institute on the question "Is Capitalism Moral?" You may remember that Brooks' book The Battle was World's "Book of the Year" last year, and that we reviewed it in our class.
