Helped me understand

I am not really an economics expert... with that said this book made a lot of sense to someone who is not an expert. Most all of the book was easy to understand by someone who has had only two college economic classes.

Paul Tillich, Call Your Office

Hillary's high school youth group inspiration, liberal theologian Paul Tillich, once wrote that "Christianity is the religion of which Socialism is the practice." Opitz completely disagrees, and demonstrates through convincing logical arguments that actually, socialism is an internal version of the international "imperialism" that these same liberals also scorn: a politically connected minority milking the majority of their wealth, and coining pious arguments to justify it. Nothing particularly Christian about any of it. This is a great book. If I were a socialist, I'd compel you to read it.
