God Wants You to Be Rich: How and Why Everyone Can Enjoy Material and Spiritual Wealth in Our Abundant World (9781416549277): Paul Zane Pilzer: Books. Luther defined our god as that in which we place our trust. Given that theology in the broadest sense is language about god, this book is remarkably revealing theologically. The object of trust here, unequivocally and unapologetically, is technology, which, it is assumed, creates wealth without limit by a process revealingly labeled economic alchemy. Pilzer, who was an economic adviser to presidents Reagan and Bush, has hit upon an apt alternative to Bush's early characterization of Reagonomics as vodoo economics. The gospel propounded here is that there are no limits. Readers who are more biblically and historically informed than Pilzer will, no doubt, bring the prophetic tradition shared by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to bear on his discussion of limits. The result should indeed be a more theologically informed perspective on recent economic and political developments, as well as, perhaps, a greater awareness of where those developments have ended in lead and where they have ended in gold.
