Summary/Abstract: The lack of ideas (principles) of modern society results in the undeification of the economy and the identification of human progress with economic growth and development. The tendency is to minimize the influence of any moral and spiritual values that could prevent material benefit. The continuous accumulation of capital and the enormous increase in profits, without any ultimate meaning, leads to an economic and social crisis. The problem is not in progressive development but in one-sidedness and absurd economic growth whose goal is to create surplus value and not to serve human needs. This is exactly why social problems and social inequalities occur, where man is not seen as a unique psychophysical being created from God's love. Consequently, in this paper, an attempt is made to at least slightly indicate the quite divergent relations between the Orthodox tradition and the neoliberal economy in the modern world.
