Have We Become More Greedy As A Society?

 

Greed can be defined as an intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power or food.

Greed is nothing new. Every society has seen its share whether it by politicians, corporations or even ourselves at times. 

Is there a limit on how much money or power one person can or should have? If so, how do we measure or control such?

Why is it sometimes when  someone holds a vast amount of wealth we assume they are greedy? 

Do you think society is more greedy? Less greedy? Or more or less the same? Same questions to companies/corporations. 

Is it ever ok to show off your wealth or success or do you consider it to be flaunting and looking down on others if you want to express that you are proud of your success?
