Compassionate Capitalism: God’s Plan for Economics & Welfare. By Dr. Harold Eberle Learn how capitalism first developed as God worked among the Hebrew people in the Old Testament. The resulting economic principles then transformed Western society as they spread with Christianity. However, our present form of capitalism is different than that which God instilled in Hebrew society. What we need to do now is govern capitalism wisely and apply the principles of capitalism with compassion. #DCCE $25
