That, I think would depend on whether or not the Twice Born still have a sin
nature or not. If not, then the chief end of business would not be profit,
but aid/ministry and profit would be a secondary goal. I personally think it
would resemble, but not be, socialism. The chief difference between the LL
and socialistic type things is that the LL is voluntary rather than forced,
and possibly some free-market checks & balances on businesses who are only
about profit.
And I think the chief difference would be that money would not be loaned at
interest. Moses/Judaism, Jesus, and the early Christian Fathers all tended to
not view it highly, at least from what I remember from skimming a part of
Mere Christianity at random around Thanksgiving.
