Capitalism and Christianity, American Style

The book critiques the intertwining of evangelical Christianity and capitalism in America, highlighting how this "evangelical-capitalist resonance machine" fosters a culture of greed and bellicosity. Connolly explores the influence of a vengeful evangelical vision on various societal aspects, including media, literature, and economic policies. He argues that this ethos undermines diversity and social responsibility, perpetuating urban poverty and economic inequality. The work serves as a rallying cry for the democratic left to advocate for egalitarianism and ecological integrity.
