Richards argues against the current dualistic view Christianity has cast on capitalism-all good or all evil-and reveals the surprising ways that capitalism is actually the best way to follow Jesus’s mandates to alleviate poverty and protect our earth. Washington Times “Money, Greed, and God is both thoughtful and important.”
