Capital in Myths and Folklore
In many myths and folktales, capital is often depicted as a treasure or a coveted object. It’s usually presented as something that brings prosperity but can also lead to downfall if misused or handled greedily. For example, the classic story of King Midas, who’s granted his wish for everything he touches to turn into gold, illustrates the peril of unchecked desire for capital. In another light, folklore often illustrates capital as a reward for courage, wisdom, or virtuous acts, reinforcing the idea that wealth is a result of one’s good deeds or qualities.
On a deeper level, folktales often use capital symbolically to convey lessons about greed, morality, and the transient nature of material wealth. The tale of the greedy monkey who loses all his bananas while trying to grab too many at once is a prime example of this symbolism.
