Psychology Today:
Greed: The Ultimate Addiction
IMO any economic system that allows as much inequality as there is today needs to be reined in. That's a job for government and a big reason Republicans at least since Raygun hate "big gubment" and do all they can to get rid of it. They make up stories like welfare queens in Cadillacs (Raygun), etc., and then gut welfare programs, foreign aid, Medicaid subsidies, etc., sometimes costing many lives but presumably lowering their taxes.
IMO TSF is a prime example of what can and will happen when somebody inherits a fortune at a young age and knows they will never need a job so they never bother to learn much of anything. According to The New York Times, he "was a millionaire by age 8." That could become more common as inequality and hubris continue and worsen.
