"Dream big", "Go get the bag", "Money haffi mek"

These are all sayings that you have been familiar with since your childhood. Maybe you know to take them with a pinch of salt, but let's discuss what they mean on a deeper level.In the context of our economic system, is having personal ambition for wealth and success a noble, moral endeavour? And if it is, where is the limit to your ambition? What truly separates your ambition from the ambition of a ruthless capitalist like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk? In this part of our discussion, we reference philosophers of antiquity like Epicurus and Marxist critiques of modern capitalism.

In our second segment, we move to a look at the wider economic system in more depth and ask the question, 'is national economic growth opposed to morality'?

Enjoy!
