I've been impressed with the Acton Institute for its principled support of free markets, economic development, human development and creativity, and also for not being blind to greed and selfishness and the need for checks and balances.
It is unusual when such groups not known for such step out and comment on huge social justice concerns that are thought be some to be outside of their niche'. This article from Acton shows that while significant portions of the church may be asleep and evangelicals might be doing the well-marketted 'self help' seminars near exclusively, that some (can you believe it!) economists are actually thinking and writing from a Christian world view and doing so prophetically.
Enjoy the thoughtfulness of this challenging, short article HERE.

Joe, as an aside to this...
Don't you think that the left's constant carping that conservative Christians aren't interested in the poor or social justice is one big canard?
I certainly do.
