撮 要

本文探討桑德爾和陶尼的基督教社會主義和對英美資本主義和優績主義的批評，並指出從歷史角度看，基督教神學對西方經濟發展其實有重要影響，可惜過去受社會經濟因素影響，教會多只強調個人自由、責任和經濟增長，忽略了基督教強調平等、社羣責任的元素。基於對資本主義和優績主義和基督教經濟倫理的分析，筆者主張基督教的經濟觀應該是平衡融合資本主義與社會主義，並且基督教對神的聖潔、公義和超越和人的罪性的強調，有助形成團契觀，使在經濟上成功的人懂得謙卑，體諒並關懷社會上貧窮的人。

ABSTRACT

This article explores the Christian socialism by Sandel and Tawney and their criticism of Anglo-American capitalism and meritocracy. It also points out that Christian theology has actually had an important impact on the development of Western economies from a historical perspective. Unfortunately, most of them only emphasize individual freedom, responsibility, and economic growth, ignoring equality and community responsibility that are also the elements of Christian theology. Based on the analysis of capitalism, meritocracy, and Christian economic ethics, the author argues that the economic outlook of Christianity should be a balanced fusion of capitalism and socialism. Furthermore, Christianity’s emphasis of the holiness, justice, and transcendence of God and human sinfulness can help to form a sense of fellowship, and motivate those economically successful people to be humble, considerate and caring for the poor in society.
