I am listening to an amazing story right now on NPR's show THE STORY
about Hal Taussig who gives ALL the profits away from his very successful millions-of-dollars business away to benefit the poor:

You can listen to it online at that link (scroll down near the bottom). He says he is not a Marxist at all (though he read THE CHRISTIAN MARXIST and gleaned ideas from it) but primarily got most of his inspiration from what he read in the Bible. He said that the more and more he read the Bible, the more he saw how he was supposed to be treating the poor.
Very, very interesting. Definitely someone who is choosing to live radically in a comfortable world.
Pondering much,
Elysa
