George Barna in Futurecast says the following on pages 66-67:

"This shift in morals has a direct bearing on the economic downturn of recent years. Without moral  standards and restraint, governments, businesses, and individuals push the boundaries to exercise the maximum level of freedom in order to achieve personal gain. But when we practice unrestrained freedom, our greed and selfishness inevitably affect the well-being of the marketplace and individuals. The only solution to the abuses that occur without such restraint is for government regulation to curtail some degree of our freedom, which in turn makes the market less efficient.  If instead, people were to make choices based on a biblical world view, in which truth is founded on God's precepts and principles, fewer external restrictions would be necessary and greater freedom and efficiency would result."    

I believe that the principles and teachings in the Bible are key to restoring our nation's economic greatness. What do you think?
