Week 4- Wednesday

I usually think that egalitarian concepts are the most biblical and are the way that Jesus would have organized life. I do not know ANYTHING about economics or these philosophical understandings like Marxism, but for some reason I always think that the socialist understanding of life is the most Jesus- like. It was good today to hear Ryan say that it is the critiques and the problems pointed out by Marx that are the most helpful, not his solutions to those problems. The issues that Marx had with capitalism (the dehumanization of the division of labor, etc…) are very Jesus- like. I can jump on board with these critiques, while not accepting Marxist solutions.
