Capitalism without a Judeo-Christian ethic will not work in the long run. What makes capitalism strong is a core of honesty, truth and uprightness, with a healthy fear of God.

“Capitalism without a Judeo-Christian ethic will not work in the long run. What makes capitalism strong is a core of honesty, truth and uprightness, with a healthy fear of God.”

Japan, Korea, and others should call your claim into question.

The rpesumption that ONLY Christianity yields honesty, truth, uprightness and fear of God needs to be proved by you.

Most all faith systems try to do that.

Absolutely right.

I think the success of individualism (which is the core of capitalism) is a part of that Judeo/Christian ethic (i.e. God has a direct and personal relationship with each of us...and holds us accountable individually).
