A View on International Politics

[mindlight]

So, looking at free market and regulation, both under God
I wonder whether there is a tendency for orthodoxy to take especially strong form in religions: where the regulatory aspect of your brief is thereby met; and where we would have to wonder how the free market aspect would emerge, and how it would then be recieved.
So is Jesus some free market emergence from Judaism.
Again we could contrast Christianity and Islam: where the Sufi's might represent a free market aspect, of an otherwise somewhat ethnically centralised religion.
Again, even within the orthodoxies of each, and similarly with the Judaic: it could be considered as to what degree of free market enterprise was negotiated within the regulation; where, for example, Jewish bankers achieved a monetary prosperity which saw them financing secular kingdoms.
Again there is trading within the ethnic collective: and trading outwith the collective.
The God basis of ecenomics can be profound: where it can even be argued that Islam prsents the USA with a fresh simalcrum of the communism it has always opposed.

Jesus as the free market answer to Jewish Bureaucracy..... ummmm. He also urged respect for authorities and for the law even while he fulfilled their terms by a perfect life and a sacrifice on the cross. But he did not see the answers in the centralised Roman state. As in the book of proverbs a bit of wisdom and discipline are crucial to prospering and the Jews have done very well at it under most forms of government in human history. islams kind of discipline does not work very well economically and its prosperity is too heavily dependent on oil to be an example of successful regulation in the modern age.
