Just What Is Greed, Really?

1. Financial Greed (Obsession With Profit)

    Financial Greed takes two main forms:

    a) Profiteering: Getting people to use a product or service no matter how this damages them -- or, better yet, get them addicted to needing that product or service.

    b) Debtism: Counting on an uncertain future to pay for obsessive growth in the present.

    Financial Greed is driven by deep distortions about what creates fulfillment. Profiteering maintains that profitability justifies damaging people or the planet. Debtism places the responsibility on future generations to foot the bill for present excesses. Both are profoundly dysfunctional and unsustainable distortions of true capitalism.

    As I have written in previous posts, our massive distortions about what creates life fulfillment are what has made it possible for Debtism to poison our economic system by replacing healthy capitalism.
