Abstract
Ethics and capitalism The main purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that, on the basis of Biblical Ethics, criticism on Marxism and Communism does not simultaneously imply adherence to Capitalism, for the most vulnerable point in Classical Capitalism is its lack of ethics as a leading principle. Since the days of Adam Smith, political economy (the common wealth of society) in Capitalism is metaphysically assumed, and in this sense derived, not from reality nor any proven ethical principle, but from a concept of a private economy (the competition of private greed) as a basis for society.

Natuurlik sou die massas hierdeur 'n afsku in die kapitalisme ontwikkel en hulle toevlug tot die sosialism e neem. (Wat Kristol nou nie gesê het nie, is dat die massas sekerlik nie net op woorde gereageer het nie, maar veel eerder op dit wat hulle aan die lyf ervaar het in bittere armoede, terwyl die rykes steeds in 'n groeiende gaping ryker geword het, en hulle daarom, veral, hulle toevlug geneem het tot die sosialism e.) In hierdie situasie, sê hy, word herverdeling van rykdom 'n saak wat in toenemende mate aandag begin trek
Summary
Dikwels word uit teologiese en kerklike kringe gewaarsku teen die ernstige gevare van die ideologie van die Marxisme en die kommunisme. Daar is in kapitalistiese geledere tog ook 'n ander weg waarop meer openlik nie 'n versoening met die eise van die etiek voorgehou word nie in Adam Sm ith en die Klassieke Kapitalisme se vrye mark, wat, deur private hebsug gedrewe, verónderstel is om uit te kom by almal se welsyn.
