  1. Personene

  2. Flere historier… • Makt og begjær • Trekantdrama • Vekst og løsrivelse • Etikk og moral

  3. Hva sier filmen om • Egeninteressens problem? • Bud Fox (blir han umoralsk av å handle umoralsk?) • Gordon Gekko (”Greed is good”) • Eiere vs. Ledere • Hvem skal ha makten? • Hvordan utøver Gordon Gekko eierskap? • CSR • Hvilket ansvar har Gordon Gekko for selskapene han eier? • Eks. Bluestar Airlines

  4. Kjente sitater • ”Lunch is for wimps” • “If you want a friend, buy yourself a dog” • “It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses” • “Why did you wreck the company?” “Because it was wreckeable” • “If you’re not inside you’re outside”

  5. “The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed -- for lack of a better word -- is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed -- you mark my words -- will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA”. Thank you very much.

  6. “Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss”
