In "Money, Greed, and God", Jay Richards has written the
definitive case for capitalism, a crisply written and
incisive discourse on wealth and poverty, money and morality
for the 21st century."
(George Gilder, co-founder of the Discovery Institute & author of "Wealth and Poverty")

"Jay Richards understands the objections to capitalism,
and here explains why they do not convince him. The empirical
findings revealed in "Money, Greed, and God" run against
those objections." (Michael Novak, Chair in Religion &
Public Policy at the American Enterprise Institute)

Does capitalism promote greed? Can a person follow Jesus'
call to love others and also support capitalism? Was our
recent economic crisis caused by flaws inherent to our free
market system? Jay Richards presents a new approach to
capitalism, revealing how it's fully consistent with Jesus'
teachings and the Christian tradition, while also showing
why this system is our best bet for renewed economic vigor.

The church is bombarded with two competing messages about money and capitalism: wealth is bad and causes much of the world's suffering wealth is good and God wants you to prosper and be rich Richards exposes these myths, and other common misconceptions about capitalism, and reveals the surprising ways that capitalism is, in fact, the best system to respond to the biblical mandates of alleviating poverty and protecting the environment. Money, Greed, and God equips readers to take practical steps in their own lives to conduct business, worship God, and serve others without falling into the "prosperity gospel" trap.
