Sowing and Reaping

The Biblical correlation between Sowing and Reaping is usually interpreted as it is likely intended--as the Moral principle that one will bear the consequences of one's actions.  But, in Economic terms, the correspondence can also help distinguish Marxism from Capitalism.  For, Marx's concept of the fruits of one's labor can be formulated as 'The one who reaps should be the one who sows'.  In contrast, 'What one sows is the minimum that a landowner can pay one' represents the relation in a Capitalist system.
