FREE MARKET AND RELIGIOUS VARIETIES OF FUNDAMENTALISM



I would like to see some work that explores the ties between free market fundamentalism and the development of religious fundamentalism with the thesis along the lines of the publication in 1910 of the 12 volume work titled "The Fundamentals: A Testimony To The Truth", anonymously financed by Lyman Stewart and his brother Milton, cofounders of Union Oil or Unocal, as a reaction against and a deterrent of the work of those like Walter Rauschenbusch. You could throw in some "latter day false prophet" references just for fun and let the audience guess which one is which.
