The below article entitled “The Age of Envy” was published in Newsweek on December 29, 1952 on the pervasive feeling of envy that lay at the core of numerous policies being put forth under the guise of “inequality of income and wealth.”
It was written by free-market journalist Henry Hazlitt, best known for his classic “Economics in One Lesson,” and excerpted from a collection of his Newsweek articles from 1946 to 1966. All emphasis is ours.
…Envy has been an attribute of human nature from the dawn of history. But it has always hitherto been regarded as a sin. Ovid thought it “the meanest of the vices.” The Bible calls it a “rottenness of the bones.” “From envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharitableness,” says the Book of Common Prayer, “Good Lord deliver us.”

The author of this article quotes:“To each in accordance with what he contributes; to each what he creates.”
This article is an attempt to misinform those who do not choose to apply the biblical standard. The question is what is being created? And by whom is it created? Is it according to Satan’s standards or according to the Word of God?
