Biblical Aspects of Economic Literature

Keywords: economic literature, theory, Christianity, aspects, Bible

Abstract

The biblical aspects in Ukrainian economic literature of the 20th and 21st century and its preconditions in European economic litera­ture have been examined. The economic theory has been rethought in the context of Christian economic ethics. The 21st century is, in a way, a result of spirituality of the previous generations, and most of all Christian spirituality. A number of socio-economic researches (such as labor processes, the study of wealth and poverty features) have shown that within the existing paradigm of science it is almost impos­sible to explain their nature and patterns of operation. The develop­ment of Christian economic ethics may be just the impetus not only for fairly significant change in economic thinking, but also for the further development of public opinion in general.
