Greed in psychology:hi: is an excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greed)

The American definition of greed is "a word to describe anyone who has more than I do."

[Smurf-Herder]

Would Bill Gates be considered greedy?

Even if he was, he changed the world for the better.

I think a line has to be drawn between "Greed" and the desire for wealth and prosperity.

IMO, greed would involve Soros making billions by trying to break the bank of England.

Long live capitalism

As long as we can still keep it on life support.

[Mr, gone]

Thusfar in history, ALL forms of governace have ulitimately failed. Capitalism will show to suffer a similar death. Un-regulated free enterprise will comsume itself. We are seeing this happen within these last 30 years, due to our ever increasing labor costs - which has forced us to outsource cheaper (albeit limited) locations.

Capitalism needs continuous growth otherwise it will die.:disbelief:

The middle class is shrinking............:mad:

If capitalism, as some here preach were unfettered, as they preach, we would all be typing from the library & doing 60 hours work weeks for less pay......

The oligarchs would play us off each other & we could do nothing...

IMO greed is a factor for some- certainly not everyone... Not everything that has been made is a result of greed............. Hell Jonas Salk... Did he do it for greed.............??? Hell no..........

Einstein was a real smart guy............. Who do you think he would have picked to win the NBA title in 1954??? Knicks, Celtics, Warriors, Lakers, Kings, Pistons, Hawks, 76ers...??? Did he know what a linebacker was???

Another reason why our founding fathers wanted us to kill each other on a fairly regular basis...
