The business professional also must value his employees as well, for they are his most valuable asset. He must attend to their welfare. Recognising them as spiritual beings with their own divine aspirations, he must not only endeavour to compensate them fairly but also help them find transcendent meaning in their work. Ancient Jewish wisdom prohibits an employer from instructing his worker to perform meaningless work. For example, he may not hire the worker to dig a hole one day, fillet the next, and thereafter repeatedly dig and refill it. This prohibition applies no matter how generous the pay maybe, because it leaves the work with no sense of accomplishment, and therefore, no sense of value of his contribution.
Business professional whose own selfish wants and needs constantly feel his mind is doing. Thus, both business and religion discourage selfish and narcissistic behaviour. Thankfully there is synergy between business and religion becausr, as we have discussed, business transactions are spiritual actions.
Knowing that a close relationship exists between God and the marketplace helps us in three crucial areas. First, this fact helps to explain why atheism and business are not natural allies stop one would have supported that philosophy of secular humanism, recognising now authority sanctioning all behaviour, would be naturally drawn to the world of money and power.
One would have expected the political left to use what it calls the greed of capitalism and to recognise it as nothing more than Darwinian law applied to the life of the modern man. Yet, this is not possible. Something as truly spiritual as calmer simply cannot coexist with socialism. The atheist himself recognises that, to be true to his credo, he must reject the free market because of his godliness.
