money can be neutral political systems may be neutral it is the human mind that when it is MADE UP produces the effects and realities that we experience and call life. some of these effects include poverty which can be painful but not always the BIBLE SAYS be ye kind one to another tender-hearted forgiving one another even as GOD for CHRIST's sake has FORGIVEN YOU some want to have a long debate about capitalism VS socialism I do beleive that if a mind is made up for and by the GOD of the BIBLE where kindness and other biblical and Godly principles are applied THEN GREED IS NOT PRODUCED A christian capitalist while acquiring private property and competing in a free market is guided by kindness and is conscious of boundaries and of market shares and of the "HAVE-NOTS" an example of such a person that comes to my mind is American businessman R.G.LeTourneau. Find the story here another notable example is ANDREW CARNEGIE Many persons of wealth have contributed to charity, but Carnegie was perhaps the first to state publicly that the rich have a moral obligation to give away their fortunes. In 1889 he wrote The Gospel of Wealth, in which he asserted that all personal wealth beyond that required to supply the needs of one's family should be regarded as a trust fund to be administered for the benefit of the community. read a biography here |
