IntroductionHistorical and Religious ContextAdam SmithKarl MarxFinal ThoughtsThis article will briefly discuss relevant world history to provide context then present an analysis of the works of both Adam Smith and Karl Marx in contrast to one another — in order to present a theoretical understanding of the foundations of modern capitalism and basic economics Following this I shall draw my own conclusions on the matter regarding progressive reform Initially the prevention of a capitalist system becoming dominant in early medieval Europe can be attributed to Christianity and the notion that the pursuit of wealth is both sinful and does not coincide with maintaining a dedication to the Christian faith Throughout the medieval period the Church held a captivating grip and broadly substantiated influence on political economic and social affairs — making the prevention of such a system entirely possible Said notion is embodied by the story of Jesus visiting the temple of Jerusalem on which its steps and surrounding area is a marketplace filled with moneychangers Jesus himself then expels the merchants after overturning their tables of commerce and accuses them of converting the temple into a “den of thieves” as a result of their financial pursuits Matthew 2112–13 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there He overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those In a rather large leap forward in 1776 the book “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith a Scottish philosopher was published — as a means of breaking down the mythologicalesque understanding of wealth creation In short he discusses by what means capitalist economies grow Adam Smith argued that specialisationwas a necessity for the increase of productivity and efficiency As a result national economies would significantly increase in total accumulated wealth Following the industrial revolution the concept of specialisation and increase in labour force lead to the workers much lower down in the economic hierarchy to feel similar to that of a lonely cog in a much larger machine as opposed to that of a successfully contributing and vital member of a workforce As a result Smith assessed that those in charge of said specialised business in the new industrial age have an increased responsibility to their workforce to remind them of the v During capitalism’s youth in 1848 Karl Marx (and Friedrich Engels) published their work ‘The Communist Manifesto It provided an indepth political and economic criticism of capitalism Whilst the work of Karl Marx has since laid the foundations for disastrous economies and brutal dictatorships he must not be dismissed entirely If one considers his work as a mere critical analysis of capitalism in its infancy it will provide a basis from which progressive reform can be made to our current system — that is arguably obsolete Regardless of how capitalist reform is approached the concepts presented by Marx will inevitably contribute to a solution Whilst work can be a source of joy workers must see themselves in their work for this to be the case Labour offers us a means to externalise our core values In the modern postindustrial society in which we reside however this is increasingly rare Whilst specialisation as presented by Smith increases efficiency doing so results in Capitalism is no longer just an economic system Following the ColdWar between the United States and the USSR — in the name of capitalism and communism — one could argue that a consequential byproduct of this conflict was each becoming more ideological in nature Whilst most beliefs at the core of capitalist societies are simply value judgements they are deeply etched into the minds of its participants and reflect the modern nature of the human psyche unemployment is simply laziness leisure is sinful materialism results in happiness In conclusion live to work and do not work to live As a means of merging elements of both Smith and Marx progressive reform therefore requires not only economic developments — but cultural advancements also A culture that reflects a more empathetic and ethical way of life embedded in an economic system that reflects such core values in a parallel fashion to a peaceful lake providing a mirrored image In short synergy is required between bot.
