interesting article

http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2014/06/25/has-capitalism-become-incompatible-with-christianity/morality-should-not-be-priced-in-the-marketplace

This is a topic that I am wrestling through at the moment.   The world, dropping rapidly into the bed it has made, and the Christian neo-Con right seem to be attempting to salvage something God hates:  not profit per-se but the inordinate pursuit of it, the maximizing rather than the optimizing of profit.  What does a Christian Business ethic look like in opposition to the corporate model responsible for so much inequality and pain look like?  How do we make all this nonsense look as ridiculous and self-defeating as it actually is?  This is a brief article I found interesting, from a secular point of view.
