Martin Scorsese: Finance Superhero
on Wednesday, November 17, 2021Martin Scorsese Money Quote saying that because the goal capitalism is reaching financial heights above all, there aren’t finance heroes in our culture. Martin Scorsese said:
“I would ask: Given the nature of free-market capitalism – where the rule is to rise to the top at all costs – is it possible to have a financial industry hero? And by the way, this is not a pop-culture trend we’re talking about. There aren’t many financial heroes in literature, theater or cinema” — Martin Scorsese

Short Link to this Quote:
Scorsese says there aren’t many financial heroes portrayed in literature, theater or cinema because the goal of capitalism is to rise to the top financially above all else, at any cost. This prioritizes profits and wealth accumulation over other values. As a result, stories tend not to glorify or portray bankers, investors, etc. as heroic figures, since their work focuses on making money rather than other noble goals like helping people. Scorsese is pointing out that within a free market capitalist system, achieving financial success alone is generally not seen as a heroic attribute worthy of dramatic portrayal.

In the context of Fidel Castro’s quote, “throw it away” suggests that socialists do not value money as a means to an end, but rather view it as a means to be discarded.
This contrasts with capitalists, who use money as a means to acquire goods and services. This quote highlights the fundamental difference between capitalism and socialism, with the former prioritizing material wealth and the latter prioritizing the collective well-being of society.
