"This book is a provocative examination of the idea of greed from various perspectives, drawing together experts from academia, politics and business. Greed explores whether the desire for material possession in post-industrial economies is a positive or a negative phenomenon and considers the implications of greed on society and the global economy"--Provided by publisher
