Keller's Every Good Endeavor - Chapter 11 - A New Compass for Work

I'll be facilitating a brief discussion on chapter eleven (pages 198-225) of Keller's Work Monday evening. Here are a few questions we'll use to guide the discussion:
  1. Is Milton Friedman right when he says that the business manager's only job is to maximize shareholder value? Will the market itself reward integrity and punish dishonesty?
     
  2. Keller titled the chapter "A New Compass for Work." In one word, what is that compass?
      
  3. In regard to wisdom and decision making, Keller points to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. How does, or has, the Holy Spirit played into your decision making?
      
  4. How is the usual approach to capitalism compatible with Christianity? How is it incompatible?
