31. Greed is an aspect of human behavior...

which is celebrated and rewarded by the capitalist system. It is a matter of scale, garden variety greed, eyed with disapproval by societies throughout history, just consider folk tales from damn near any culture, is contained by the normal workings of society. When you couple this behavior with the social power of overweening wealth, then you got a situation which gets you where we are.
