Excerpt from God in Economic Life
But what has God to do with economics? What is there in common between heaven and the production line? What has Mammon that links him with the Creator? Is it not really fantastic to think of God in connection with the making of money?
The answer is not really hard to find. The eco nomic life is not the life of dollar bills, of steel mon sters like dynamos and turret lathes and blast fur naces. These are blind and senseless instruments. It is the life of the men and women who own these things, the mines and factories and railroads, and of the men and women who work at them and make them go. Apart from man himself, the economic life is no life at all. The machine is the servant of man, his own creation, and it starts and stops, it moves and makes only at his bidding. Whatever life it has is wholly man's.
