Eccl 5:10-15
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money;nor he who loves wealth with gain.this is vanity. When goods increase they increase who eat them;and what gain has the owner but to see them with his eyes. Sweet is the sleep of a labourer, whether he eats little or much;but the surfeit of the rich will not let him sleep. There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun; riches were kept by the owner to his hurt,and those riches were lost in a bad venture; and he is farther of a son,but he has nothing in his hand. As he came from his mothers womb he shall go again, naked as he came and shall take nothing for his toil which he may carry away in his hand.

A Christian friend once told me there's a verse in the Bible that says "Money answers everything" and another that says "The rich will rule over the poor" and another that says "He that is faithful in little shall be given more" and "The borrower shall work for the lender." I don't know the Chapters though but I find the phrases a good observation of how some aspects of Capitalism work.

"all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbour. A fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh. "
Harold once said that Envy is counting someone's blessings instead of your own.

" sometimes a man who has toiled with wisdom and skill and knowledge must leave all to be enjoyed by a man who did not toil for it."
" a person who has no one,either son or brother yet there is no end to his toil and his eyes are never satisfied with riches so that he never asks 'for whom am I toiling and depriving of myself pleasure' And then I agreed that "all the toil of man is for his mouth yet his appetite is not satisfied"
