I’ve seen great reviews of this new book by Stephen Mansfield – The Search for God and Guinness: A Biography of the Beer that Changed the World
. Just as I believe that creativity and logic/reason can coexist – in fact, thrive together- I also believe that benevolence and capitalism can successfully exist. In fact, it is under the model of capitalism that benovolence becomes most prevalent. Forced “giving” to those in need by confiscating the wealth of the fortunate via confiscatory tax policies actually stifles benevolence. It’s a lesson that I wish our Congress and Executive Branch would learn.
