"A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them."--Publishers Weekly
Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been.
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this powerful idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money--what some call "racial capitalism"--drives violence and exploitation across American history. In this book, you'll discover
● how greed historically gave birth to racial categories and systemic oppression,
● the connection between economic exploitation and racial violence,
- lessons from historical figures like Ida B. Wells on resistance and truth-telling,
● practical steps for building communities of deep economic solidarity, and
● biblical foundations for combating racial capitalism through gospel values.
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He challenges the contemporary church to wrestle with crucial questions: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey toward racial justice?
Readers will gain tools to resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbors more completely, and build communities rooted in deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth-telling.
