What You'll Learn:
Many thought the debate of free market versus communism ended when the Soviet Union fell. The resurgence in communism’s popularity suggests otherwise, and many Christians are left wondering if communism aligns with Christian faith and if the free market is as savage as media and popular culture often assert.
Key Insights:
- Even more than it’s maligned, the free market is misunderstood.
- The term “capitalism” that Marx coined is too baggage-laden to try defending.
- The church in Acts 4 emerged from a very particular context and should not be taken as normative.
- Compared to a non-existent Utopia, capitalism definitely falls short.
- Those who use the pie metaphor to explain the have-to-have-not ratios forget that the pie can grow.
- Wealth is not the problem—poverty is.
