I'm not sure why I can't leave titles anymore but truth be told, I hate coming up with titles to anything. The pressure to come up with something catchy and all...
So interest rates finally went up today to curb inflation. And the Canadian dollar is at a 30 year high. Our economy is booming and people are spending like there was no tomorrow. Jobs are relatively easy to come by these days and the appeal to education is half what it used to be because tuition prices are through the roof and there are many well paying jobs to be had with little to no post secondary education.
But more is better right? If we can get stuff cheaper, that's better because then we have money for other things. If we can make more money for the same amount of work, that's better as well. And if we have more, then we don't have to worry about money and that will make us happier right? And happiness is what we all strive for on Earth.
What does the Bible teach about global economy and capitalism? It seems to me that the Bible teaches a lot about having less and very little about having more other than to say to be careful of it. And happiness? The Bible is very clear where that comes from!
