ENGL 200 D: Reading Literature: Literature in the Marketplace

The people I am going to investigate and describe in a economic profile are either Auric Goldfinger or Julius from Down and Out of the Magic Kingdom. Goldfinger, The richest man in England is also the treasurer for the Soviet counter-intelligence agency SMERSH. SMERSH is the brutal Soviet-led anti spy network for which Goldfinger provides financial backing. The most important theme of Gold finger is wealth, he is obsessed with gold and has hoarded away enormous quantities of it. SMERSH and its agent Goldfinger attack the wealth of nations. The smuggling and the assault on Fort Knox are meant to undermine Western economies and to bolster SMERSH’s own schemes. “The Russians were notoriously incompetent payers of their own men,” Bond notes. Goldfinger’s smuggling provides revenue for paying SMERSH’s assassins. The Financial backing can be converted into gold where a certain amount of money is  diffused. There is a certain quantity of gold so it makes it hard when there are so many people. The gold is only for people that can obtain it and take care of it. Julius is one of the main characters in the Bitchun Society. The treatment of others affect on the support Julius receives from them and this has to do with the amount of whuffie. For this paper I plan to incorporate Adam smith on h0w he talks about the rich and poor.
