Chief Rabbi Sacks converts the Canon of St Paul's

...well, to Capitalism, anyway. Says the Rev Giles Fraser in an interview with the Guardian:
"I used to be a socialist and for a long time I did have the view that there was something intrinsically immoral about capitalism. I changed my mind quite fundamentally about that quite a few years ago. I had a conversion sitting in Notting Hill market, reading the chief rabbi on the subject – an essay called 'the moral case for market economy'.
The essay appears in Rabbi Sacks's 2003 book The Dignity of Difference.
