The 1998 Lord Acton Essay Competition
Ethics and Economics
Graduate Essays on the Moral Foundation of Political Economy
“The Moral foundation of political economy is not the satisfaction
of appetite but the fulfillment of duties. Labour, patience, justice,
peace, and self-denial are the mainsprings of economical production, and
the metaphysical basis of the science is not in a philosophy which reduces
religion and science to mere satisfaction of an appetite, like eating
or drinking, but in the verification of the promise, 'Seek ye first the
kingdom of God and His Justice and all these things'–the necessaries
of life–'shall be added unto you.'”
– Lord Acton
