If tolkiens middle-earth is a manual for personal ethical integrity,who will write an equivalent allegorical?

Question

tale, for the sphere of economics - envisioning a paradigm-shift to a new win-win sort of economics, where ethical integrity is built-in to the very dna of the system?

rather than the dog-eat-dog corporate/supermarket economics of mergers and aquisitions--[the current rape and greed version of economics, where profit is not merely the bottom line...but the Only thing that exists]--i see something more along the lines of the human circulatory system...where money [like blood] is not allowed to accumulate and clot in the major organs, but is kept perpetually circulating, to the benefit of the whole body, including the extremities.

if our current pernicious form of capitalism is engendering cultural thrombosis, when will an economic theorist come up with the perfect anti-coagulant.

or is it that the proffession is always going to be likely to draw in those students whose interest in money is of a degraded commercial acquisitive nature, or those with dry compassionless mathematical minds and that students who are morally lacking from the start, are unlikely to [even want to] produce ideas that will lead to the greatest common good?.

Answer 1

If you want an allegorical novel for modern corporate ethics, I suggest "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S Thompson.

It deals with rapacity, lies, delusion, violence, power and paranoia.

Just right for our system eh?

Answer 2

Greed creates greedy people. In a perfect world there would be no greed.

Answer 3

Did someone get a set of encyclopedias for their birthday? Is this question, by any chance, some sort of intellectual joke?

I shall throw my hat into the ring and say that the modern day equivalent of Tolkien must be JK Rowling. Let her have a go. Or maybe Harry Potter has hidden meaning that you have not picked up on, therefore your question has already been answered.

Answer 4

Bilbo Baggins
