SW 320 - TIME's 100 Most Influential Person Rob Bell on the Bible's Views of Entrepreneurship

Speaking Of Wealth with Jason Hartman

In this 10th episode, Jason Hartman goes off topic and talks with Rob Bell, one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in 2011 and author of Love Wins, about the bible's views on entrepreneurship, what we should be doing with the wealth we accumulate, and what we can learn from King Solomon's story.

The two also discuss how good things can become victims of their own success and lead to people simply doing the same things as before to sustain the system rather than trying to improve life like it was initially.

The bible is a very sharp critique of wealth and power when it is not used to help those who need it most

For those of us in the developed world...everything we do to help empower those that need it...does make the world more safe
