Wait, since when were we talking about love of money? Since when is free trade in closer contact with the evil which lurks in men’s hearts than protectionism? Certainly the political means of earning a living, i.e. stealing, is more prone to greedy exploitation than earning a living through trade.

Isn’t the point of this article that protectionism would materially benefit us? So it’s a technical question, not God against Mammon.

Since the bible was written, that’s when? This is a modern essay into a very, very old question. The bible should not be treated as the newcomer here.
