Wealth, Greed, and Responsibility in Nordic Folktales

In this podcast we listen to the tales “Big Peter and Little Peter” from Norway and “The Merchant” from Denmark. We talk about how greedy people may acquire riches and become quite wealthy.

Then there are wealthy people who come to be rich through hard work and dealing fairly with others. We look at how these folktales differentiate between wealth gained through greed and wealth acquired honestly, and the responsibility they have in spending their riches.

But what about ourselves? — we may be talented and skilled, rich in compassion and understanding…shouldn’t we consider these part of “personal” wealth? Everyone is rich in many ways. What responsibility do we have in “spending” that wealth?
