MATERIALISM.
Economics is the life blood of mankind.
Paul, himself, said something to this effect, "get to work and don't sit around waiting for the second coming".
I was fortunate for a long time in having no need to work.
It can be an empowering force in a person's life under the right circumstances.
Materialism is strictly the buying and selling of goods.
A House, Car, Computer, and other items.
People can begin to feel empty in such circumstances in that their looking for a higher calling.
In that case, join the Army Reserve or Army National Guard.
Do some form of public service.
However, materialism is a necessary force of civilization. I wonder how many people would give up their appliances.
Economics is a dry subject, but peoples behavior or self interest is an important determinant in a nations well being.
