This collection examines how greed should be understood and
appraised. Roundly condemned by virtually all religions, greed
receives mixed appraisals in the domains of business and economics.
The volume examines these mixed appraisals and how they fare in
light of their implications for greed in our everyday world. Greed
in children is uniformly criticized by parents, other adults, and
even children's peers. However, in adulthood, greed is commended by
some as essential to profit-seeking in business and for offering
the greatest promise in promoting economic prosperity for everyone.
Those who advocate a more permissive position on greed in the adult
world typically concede that some constraints on greed are needed.
However, the supporting literature offers little analysis of what
greed is (as distinct from, for example, the effort to meet modest
needs, or the pursuit of ordinary self-interested ends). It offers
little clarification of what sorts of constraints on greed are
needed. Nor is careful attention given to difficulties children
might have in making a transition without moral loss from regarding
greed as inappropriate to its later qualified acceptance. Through a
secular approach, this book attempts to make significant inroads in
remedying these shortcomings.
