Consumerism

Dave and Joel discuss a monstrous multi-headed hydra: consumerism. How difficult it is for the rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Many Christians think greed is the problem. But what if money is? What if it runs hand in hand with a consumerism that promotes freedom as an end in itself, and accumulation and competition as the fundamental way we relate to each other? And then, what should we do? In sum: Dave gets worked-up about the affluent bourgeoisie.
