Sowing, Reaping, Philosophy of Economics

Paul the Apostle sserts that there is a causal connection between sowing and reaping.  Kant elaborates that the causality, divinely mediated, is between the intention of a sower and what they reap. Marx conceives that there is an obligation to sow, and that reaping what another has sown and needs is stealing.  Economics studies the empirical relations between sowing and reaping, aka production and consumption, or Supply and Demand.  In contrast, a Philosophy of Economics proposes what is the ideal relation between them, e. g. an equilibrium.
