So it's a chestnut, and maybe out of priint, but an interesting book
youi may like is (if I recall correctly). "Rich Christians in a World of
Hunger".
This must be it:
"Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger: Moving from Affluence to Generosity"
http://www.amazon.com/Rich-Christians-Age-Hunger-Generosity/dp/0849945305
One of the popular ideas among some of today's conservatives is that the
rich are "blessed." They believe that God has made them rich: It was
God's will that they would become rich. Endless pursuit of additional
wealth can always be justified in that belief system. Doing nothing for
the poor is also easily justified. Is that belief system any better than
the Hindu caste system?
I guess the book works against the view I just described.
