Solomon the Wisest Gambler and His Ophir Legacy
In a Hawthorne lecture, Solomon is praised as the wisest and richest man, who earned gold from Ophir rather than schemes. The piece blends biblical lore with modern finance, arguing risk wisely chosen by a genuine gambler can build empires like Rhodes and Columbus. It urges readers to invest talent boldly, finishing the world through courageous, informed action. It references Ophir, Sheba, Rhodes, Caesar, Columbus, and other world builders as exemplars of bold enterprise.
