<<“Those who rail against profits and “greed” seldom stop to think through what they are saying, much less go check the facts. Most of the great American fortunes– Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie, etc. — came from finding more efficient ways to produce a product or service at a lower cost, so that it could be sold at a lower price and attract more customers. If making a fortune represents greed, then greed is what drives prices down.” ~ Thomas Sowell>> Needing to lean on greed for success is a primitive idea. A person can be productive without being greedy. They just have to have a little empathy and enlightenment. I have spent much of my life in professions where greed is pervasive. The greedy do often make more, by being unethical and fooling people, but the honest non greedy people do fine and certainly are better for society.. The greed is good idea drives me nuts. Great idea to give to your kids! I taught my kids to be kind, and generous and would have felt terrible if they had turned out differently.
