Capitalism is blamed for creating inequities in our society, but charity is prohibited from using the tools of capitalism to rectify them-and ironically, this is all done in the name of charity. This irrational system, Pallotta explains, has its roots in four-hundred-year-old Puritan ethics that banished self-interest from the realm of charity.
