Economic Darwinism

"The irony is that those American churches that protest most vocally against the teaching of Darwinism in their schools are often, in their public policies, supporting a kind of economic Darwinism, the survival of the fittest in world markets and military power."

I found it rather startling too once it dawned on me that this was going on, like wondering "why hasn't anyone else noticed this?"

Of course, other people have noticed it, but it is a surprisingly small percentage. Must be our Puritan heritage. Very rarely have so few people had so much impact.
