My Economic Ethic: Outline upon Conclusion of the Premises.

Implementing Marxism via Aristotle, Huxley, and Chomsky: how Shannon’s character arc on Lost enabled me to complete my economic ethic.

-    Why Andy does not owe Daryll anything.

-    Why Chuck does not owe Jimmy anything.

-    Why the Parks do not owe the Kims anything.

-    Why Sabrina DOES owe Shannon something.

-    How these four are all possible at once, according to a system combining virtue ethics and classical teleology with Marxist economics, (true conservatism and true liberalism, respectively) especially according to the following appeals:

o  Common Goods versus Individual Status.

o  Achievement as Social Duty versus Personal Entitlement.

o  Social Duty as Collective Burden rather than egocentric conceit.

o  Turning capital’s intrinsically individualizing nature to a force of Common Good via the Virtue of Generosity.

o  The elimination of inherited guilt as nonconducive to the Common Good.

o  The reaffirmation of inherited wealth as teleologically purposive, as legacy, loyalty, love, and license towards the actualization of positive potentialities, i.e. virtues and achievements.
