Perhaps my belief in the efficacy of wealth
would be more fulsome if when Adam Smith
wrote his theories about 'the market' as the sum
of all altruism, and made money the measure
of everything worth measuring, he had written
into his theory a Hippocratic oath for accountancy.
This would have encoded the values that would regulate
the acts that those invisible hands got up to.
But what value ethics when wealth sets the rules of power, and reality?
