About this listen

Was the marriage between American Christianity and free-market capitalism a match made in heaven? Or was it arranged in a corporate boardroom?

In this episode, we investigate the engineered origins of today's most powerful political alliance. We reveal how, in response to the New Deal, business leaders began a decades-long campaign to frame capitalism as God's plan. Learn how their strategy led to "under God" in the Pledge, stigmatized labor unions as un-Christian, and fundamentally altered the course of American faith and politics.

Before you can understand modern America, you need to hear this story.
