Yes, well, that is why I ended that paragraph with: "That is as it SHOULD be.."
No, Greed of the type I suggested is clearly not a need to put a roof over your kid's
head.
And while the spiel about market forces is true, that in and of itself does not
guarantee the sort of society that would take
care of the disadvantaged. See my first paragraph about companies seeking profit while
spending less above all else which you
fully agreed with.
I do not agree that unfettered capitalism, where Corporations Rule and nothing but the
dollar is king, is the way to a
progressive society for all.
Greed has no morality except to feed itself.

Since much of my retirement funds and that of many other people rest on
corporate profits, I sure as hell hope they are concerned with making
Bull. Greed may be the desire for conspicuous(sp?) consumption, but it is
also the desire to put a roof over the family's head, food on the table,
and clothes on a kid's back.
More bull. Market forces are the best(although not the only) curb on
"excess" greed. In a properly functioning capitalist society, the avenues
of crime(physical) or fraud do not easily satisfy the desire to consume. To
*really* prosper, one must adopt values of self-improvement, discipline,
and the denial of immediate gratification. That is because the surest way
to profits is to feed *other* people's needs.
