My guest is Kenneth J. Barnes. His new book Redeeming Capitalism (https://www.amazon.com/Redeeming-Capitalism-Kenneth-J-Barnes/dp/0802875572) explores the history and workings of this sometimes-brutal economic system. He investigates the effects of postmodernism and unpacks biblical-theological teachings on work and wealth. Proposing virtuous choices as a way out of such pitfalls as the recent global financial crisis, Barnes envisions a more just and flourishing capitalism for the good of all.
