018 | The First and Greatest Commandment of Capitalism: Against Debtors

Debt cancellation, the freeing of slaves, and the redistribution of land, OH MY! What does your mortgage, your car loan, your credit card debt, your school loans, your medical debt, and austerity measures imposed upon by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have to do with Jesus's ministry and the witness of the early church? Contrary to what mainstream Christianity would have us believe, Christian faith doesn't have to be neoliberal and it doesn't have to be anti-debtor. In this episode we talk everything from the Jubilee and Sabbatical laws to what debt is for the working class to the inequality of power that defines the creditor-debtor relation.~ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/faithandcapital ~ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FaithAndCapital ~ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faithandcapital/ ~ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/faithandcapital/ ~ Email: [email protected] ~ Music by Cotter KoopmanSupport the show
