A great discussion on the need to recover classical education and the true liberal arts with Dr. Benjamin Smith and Mr. Joseph Grossheim.
In this episode of Take Every Thought Captive, Dr. Bulzacchelli interviews Dr. Smith about his recent edition of Logosletter entitled, "Should we Desire Riches: The Forgotten Vice of Greed." This is a wide-ranging and detailed discussion that covers the meaning of ownership, the foundations of private property, and the spiritual effects of a disordered desire for riches. The discussion concludes with ideas about avoiding greed. Following the view of Thomas Aquinas, Dr. Smith argues that an unqualified and limitless is in fact vicious and undermines both the virtue and just community.
Topics include:
Communism
The foundations of private property
Comparison of John Locke and Thomas Aquinas
Errors regarding property, distribution, and poverty
The connection of greed to the other vices
Stewardship
