Extract

Various religions have been critical of the business man or even hostile to him. Christian writers have crudely called him the “rich man.” The Old Testament set the fashion, but not with a single voice. The New Testament is more emphatic, even if not uniformly opposed to enterprise, efficiency, and success.
