Your article tying God and the Free Market together is fabulous. Your logic is faultless. Even Adam Smith noted that certain regulations were needed to guide the invisible hand. I will now become a subscriber.

I love this assessment! Completely agree that the conservative world view of individualism and moral superiority drives their economic policies. On top of this doctrine is also White Supremacy and colonialism. The prosperity gospel is tied to the idea of worthiness based on skin color, sexuality, religion, ableism, etc. Racism is at the core of government dysfunction, deregulation, and small government.

Have you read White Evangelical Racism by Anthea Butler? It’s a short read but I found it incredibly illuminating.

Not yet, but I'll check it out! Thanks! Love the piece you sent me on individualism. I have this huge bone to pick on the definition of Liberalism as being individualistic and Conservatism as being community oriented. It's too two dimensional. I am working on redefintions re: pro-social v anti-social. We'll have to talk! I'm going to go read more through your archive.
