I realized that we have been looking for a villain—a singular, dark figure to appear on the world stage—when we should have been looking for an infrastructure. The "Beast" is not a man. It is a system.

Why do so many of today’s debates seem impossible to resolve? Often it’s because we’re asking the wrong questions. Whether the subject is family, church, education, justice, economics, life, death, or the culture around us, our answers will only be as sound as the assumptions behind the questions we ask. Too often, those assumptions have been shaped more by the surrounding culture than by Scripture. In Think Again, Andrea Schwartz invites listeners to step back from familiar arguments and examine the hidden ideas that quietly influence how we think.

Wealth inequality is spiraling. The standard response —demand higher taxes, demonize billionaires, wait for politicians to act —has been failing for decades, and it will keep failing.

Make them want something else.
