is has to do with taking when you don't need to How do you determine "need to"? I think deceptive practices are and should be illegal. By deceptive practices I mean advertising a particular price and charging another or charging for work not done. But I believe any business person should be allowed to have the market decide what price they will charge. Price is never set on "need" but the market rate for similar services. Need has nothing to do with the price of anything and never should.

some of what you are touching upon involves dishonesty, not just greed i truly think that greed begins where 'need' leaves off and 'want' begins and i also believe that despite the negative connotation greed can be good a business owner could say, for instance, that he is a greedy man, and that the moment you walk into his store to make a purchase, he wants your future business. so he then sets about serving you, the customer, in such a manner as to assure your return.
