Over the past three weeks, on the First Things website, Michael Novak has posted an impressive series of rebuttals to progressive religious critiques of the American economy.

• "Christian Socialism Is Dead! Long Live Christian Anti-Capitalism!" makes the supply-side economic case for low taxes.
• "Religion and Economics, Again" examines the claim that the top 1% of American have increased their income.
• "Religion and Economics III: The Hoary Objections to Capitalism" rebuts recycled criticisms of capitalism based on energy consumption, income inequality, and globalization.

Each of these rebuttals is well worth reading.
