The term “capitalism” was invented by Marx as a way of damning the ordinary system of markets by presupposing that it had to be obsessed with materialism (and then by setting up a class war as the cure that is worse than the illness). The good Lord would surely tell us that markets are just fine (I sometimes wonder if Cain and Abel could have come to peace by trading in what they needed, rather than fighting), but never to let wealth be made into your god.

Sometimes i come to this board and am utterly shell shocked by how much more knowledgeable some folks are than me on this board.
It’s humbling, which can sometimes be a good thing :)
