    Parable of The Cows: Chapter 11: How They Govern Footnote

    The document summarizes a parable about inequality in a society of cows. In the parable, 100 cows live in a beautiful valley with plenty of grass, but 10 fat cows claim ownership of the grass. The fat cows do no work but employ 60 adequately fed cows. The remaining 30 thin cows are sickly and starve because they have no money to pay the fat cows for grass and no jobs. Eventually 10 thin cows eat the grass anyway and are arrested by police cows paid by the fat cows and confined until they die. The parable is used to critique capitalism and inequality between those who own resources and do no work and those who do all the work but own nothing.

    Lost Inheritance Ch11 Footnote: Parable of The Cows Robert John Morton

    Chapter 11: How They Govern

    Footnote: Parable of The Cows


    Within the context of nature, the gross disparity in individual well-be-
    ing that we see in human society does not make any sense at all. So,
    what is it about human beings that induces them invariably to gravit-
    ate into the insidious form of socio-economy we call capitalism?

    Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a


    beautiful valley. In this valley lived 100 cows. The sun
    shone. The rains came in due season. The grass grew
    tall and lush. There was plenty for all. But only 10 of
    the cows were fat and healthy. They grazed freely upon
    the luscious grass and meadow flowers. Another 60
    cows were not so fine. Nevertheless they ate ad-
    equately and survived. The remaining 30 cows were
    very thin and sickly. They ate hardly at all. This was be-
    cause, although there was plenty of grass for all, the
    thin cows had no money to pay the fat cows for the
    grass, which, for some strange reason, the 10 fat cows
    were deemed to own. The reason the thin cows had no
    money was because, unlike the 60 adequately-fed
    cows, they had no jobs. They had no jobs because the 10 fat cows did not
    need anybody else to work for them at the moment.
    The time came when 10 of the 30 thin cows said unto themselves, "Sod this
    for a game of soldiers!" and they went and ate the grass. But the 10 fat cows
    called the police (some of the 60 adequately-fed cows), whom they paid to
    protect their interests. The police took the 10 offending thin cows away from
    the beautiful valley and put them in a battery shed. Here it was deemed that
    they should be fed only what was necessary and sufficient for their biological
    survival until they died. ...
