<p><font style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Religion and Capitalism Are Antithetical
</font>By <a href="http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=media_AndrewBernstein">Andrew Bernstein</a> (<em>Tulsa World</em>, January 23, 2000; <em>Las Vegas Review-Journal</em>, January 24, 2000)

Conservatives regularly insist that religion is the basis of

capitalism. Theologian Michael Novak, for instance, claims that "the

Catholic Church of the Middle Ages was the main locus for the first

flowerings of capitalism." Politicians who purport to endorse free

enterprise keep invoking the Bible for validation. The "religious right"

calls the United States a Christian country and declares that our basic

political choice is between godless communism--or godless

liberalism--and religious capitalism.</p><p>=</p><p>crc </p><ul style="font-size: small; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><li style="text-align: left;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><strong>Michael <span style="color: rgb(237, 28, 36);">Novak</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(237, 28, 36);"> </span>- George Frederick Jewett Chair in Religion and Public Policy, American Enterprise Institute.</font></li></ul><p></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Novak">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Novak</a></p><p>
