Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Market

One of the great sermons of American colonial puritanism is Jonathan Edwards' 1741 classic Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. American Christians are loathe to admit it, but the wrong-wing's unceasing effort to roll back the New Deal has led America into obeisance and worship of a new deity: The Market. William Neil, of the Campaign for America's Future, delivered a new classic this past January: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Market, a very, very long article based on a review of anthropologist Karen Ho's clinical study of the Masters of the Universe, Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street. If you ever doubted my assertion that the republic can only be saved by totally obliterating the political and economic power of Wall Street, you will be made extremely uncomfortable by Neal's hard-hitting review. If you had more than a two-day holiday this weekend, you owe it to America's laborers to take the time to read it, in its entirety.
