Opening the Red Door
After the Berlin Wall fell, a group of Christian colleges in the U.S seized the opportunity to help build a faith-based university in Moscow.

Very little research until now has examined the scope and direction of Christian higher education throughout the world, so this volume fills a real gap.

Even proponents of capitalism often refer to the free market as simply a 'lesser evil' whose faults are preferable to those of social democracy or communism.
