Globe looks at Mormonism as a business model

Referring to Mormons as "the original organization men," Boston Globe columnist James Carroll looks at LDS history and doctrine today on the Globe's website and concludes that "outsiders attempting to understand the surprising arrival of the Latter-day Saints can do worse than to think of it as a business model — made perfectly, it turns out, for the 21st century. Made in America. "The faith has found a way to make God and a genius for commerce work together," Carroll writes. "The reasons begin not in business but in theology."
