ellauri156.html on line 740: Nathan tells David the story of a rich man and a poor man. God tells David through Nathan that all that he possesses (his riches) it is he, the boss, who has given them to him. God is like the rich man, and David the poor one with just the one. David's problem is that his possessions have come to own him. He is so stingy he won't even give his petlamb to Mr. Rich. He is so “possessed” with his lamb that he is unwilling to spend it when his boss has a party. He wants “more” and “more,” and so he begins to take what isn’t his to take, rather than to ask the divine Giver for all he has and more.

Emerson, Thoreau, Barthes, Kundera.  Certainly Dostoevsky and Tolstoy command primary attention as does Shakespeare (in the sense of Lakoff & Johnson). Fun new words and concepts, of course, are at the core of philosophy (as stressed by Deleuze & Guattari among others) and it is clear that philosophy for managers cannot be content with the stingy discourse of academic philosophy only.
