"Why should a financial engineer be paid four times to 100 times more than a real engineer? A real engineer build[s] bridges. A financial engineer builds dreams. And, you know, when those dreams turn out to be nightmares, other people pay for it.
Andrew Sheng, in Inside Job.
Drawing on relevant theories and concepts from the second half of the course, and examples from Inside Job, critically discuss (a) moral reasons why it might be held ethically acceptable or objectionable for a "financial engineer" to be paid 100 times more than a "real engineer," nurse, or teacher and (b) moral limits on what people may acquire and how they earn money.
