You should stop using this word or define it.
People are appalled by gouging. But what's gouging? Nobody has ever defined it yet. It was not Goldman Sachs who was flipping condos in FLorida and Nevada. So, whose greed we are talking about?
In the dotcom era, wasn't it Joes and Jills who were playing the market while at work, buying and selling within a couple of hours? Then too, after the bubble burst, people were pointing at greedy corporations. Nonsense: most corporation are owned by millions of people that are retired or save for retirement.
Don't fall for this form of class warfare.
Greed is part of the human condition. As Sowell points out, it is like gravity. It is present in all business transactions, be it bad or good, it is there.
Plus, your post made very little sense as a response to my post.
Greed is not wanting to keep what you’ve earned. Greed is wanting something that somebody else earned.
We should quit thinking of capital and labor as somehow antithetical and competitive with one another and understand they are perfectly complimentary.
