Greed has always been part of mankind..
It's just not as in your face as it used to be when the Biggest and baddest bully took what he wanted and beated the lesser ones up around the campfire.

That kind of greed has been pushed back by the so called civilised society.. It's for the most part illegal now, and for the other part frowned upon.

So now you get rationalized greed.
I dope because all the others cheat.
I get rich with dodgy banking procedures because if i don't , the other guy wil do it and i will be left out.
I get myself in debt beyond reason and then declar bancrupcy, because well the bankers are to blame anyway

etc
etc
etc

It's Greed & lack of morals.
