''Defending the Free Marketaddresses the morality of entrepreneurship from the point of view of a sophisticated economist who is also an inspiring theologian, leading us on a journey to the free and virtuous society, animated by human creativity in the image of the Creator.'' --George Gilder,New York Timesbestselling author ofWealth and Poverty''I've been doing financial counseling and education for over two decades, and one thing that has always stood out to me is how much money is connected to every part of our lives, from relationships to politics to ministry. Money is never just about money; it's always just part of the issue. That's why I appreciate Father Robert Sirico's ministry. Sure, he talks about money, but he also shows how all of these different aspects of our lives interact with and impact each other.'' --Dave Ramsey,New York Timesbestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host''I've been eagerly anticipating such a book from Father Sirico for a long time. The man has delivered magnificently.Defending the Free Marketdoes more than the title suggests. It celebrates the miracle of freedom and points a lost generation back to the free and virtuous society.'' --Lawrence Kudlow, anchor of CNBC'sThe Kudlow Report''Father Robert Sirico is a voice who must be heard.Defending the Free Marketprovides a solidly Christian perspective on capitalism and free markets--and makes the compelling case that we cannot possibly understand economics and how markets function without understanding the true nature of man.'' --Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship(R) and the Colson Center for Christian Worldview''Every American concerned about our economy and the erosion of individual liberty should read Father Sirico's insightful and well-reasoned book. As he makes crystal clear, our prosperity will continue to be provided not by government but through the proven power of the economic and personal freedoms we enjoy within American free enterprise.'' --Rich DeVos, cofounder of Amway and chairman of the Orlando Magic--This text refers to theAudio CDedition.
