Or maybe the parable of the talents means the third servant is a “whistle-blower” who has “unmasked the ‘joy of the master’ for what it is, the profits of exploitation squandered in wasteful excess.” He is punished for speaking the truth, not for failing to make a profit. But Christ wasn’t speaking literally about economics. He used allegory to make a point about faith. Traditionally, the parable of the talents has been seen as an exhortation to Jesus’ disciples to use their God-given gifts in the service of God, and to take risks for the sake of the Kingdom of God. It’s not about the virtues of compound interest versus literally stuffing your money in a drawer.

There were several other parables and examples in the ministry of Jesus where people asked Jesus to tell others who had more to share with those who had less, and instead Jesus responded by warning those who had less against the sin of covetousness.
