Great discussion--but I would add that the economic factor is really the Beast here. We are ruled by the "Profit Motive." We do not seem to be able to ask the question "What is the good?" as a question related to ethics or philosophy without having to kowtow to the economic factor. How do we overcome the slavery of economics? Isn't that an important question?

You have to consider that it's not just a always profit motive for everybody. I was a missionary for many years, full time with zero pay, with needs supplied by contributors and appre v native folks led to Jesus or other helps. Treasure is laid up in heaven. Consider Jesus' parable about the man who filled his.barns but lost it all innocent night, fed his body but starved his soul and left this life with nothing

Of course--not for everybody.
