Episode 117: Redeeming Capitalism, with Kenneth J. Barnes

Published: Aug. 10, 2018, 5 p.m.

My guest is Kenneth J. Barnes. His new book Redeeming Capitalism 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.
