Описание: Was Jesus a champion of free markets, private property, and wealth accumulation? Not quite. Yet in modern America, Christianity often walks hand-in-hand with capitalism. In this deep-dive documentary from Professor Archive, we explore how a humble faith built on compassion and community was rebranded into a powerful cultural and political tool aligned with profit, patriotism, and power.

Discover the untold story of how Jesus’ message was transformed to fit the marketplace, and how capitalism came to wear a cross.
