The Virtues of Capitalism, Part 2 of 2

Should Christians support capitalism? How effective has capitalism been in elevating people out of poverty? In this episode, which is the second part of a two-part series, Sean and Scott lay out the positive case for capitalism (aka, market economics). In the first part of this series, they offer a critique of socialism. In this episode, they advance a moral and biblical case for free markets and they respond to the most common objections. 

Scott's 2010 book on this subject is called The Virtues of Capitalism: A Moral Case for Free Markets
