520 1 $a"Economic hardship, corporate abuses, and fraudulent practices dominate the news. It would be easy to conclude that the cause is capitalism itself. But Jay Richards reveals how entrepreneurial enterprise, based on hard work, honesty, and trust, actually fosters creativity and growth. Christians have long employed these spiritual resources to create wealth and alleviate poverty. Money, Greed, and God exposes eight myths about capitalism - including the notion that capitalism is based on greed and the idea that if someone becomes rich that means someone else automatically will become poor - and demonstrates that a good Christian can be a good capitalist."--BOOK JACKET.
