His pursuit of wealth and success leads him to make morally questionable decisions, and he becomes increasingly entangled in a web of personal and ethical conflicts.The title of the novel, "To Him That Hath," is a reference to a biblical passage from the Gospel of Matthew (25:29), which speaks to the idea that those who have will be given more, while those who have little will lose even that which they have.
