And this is why



I argue that today Christians can't be Capitalists - because the very Capitalism espoused below has become mainstream.

Profit with No (Real) Gain: “Why I’m Leaving Goldman Sachs”


"Many proponents of capitalism, particularly the libertarian/Ayn Rand (Ayn Rand, so far away)-kind, argue that self-interest is good morally and beneficial economically."
