Greed's Comeback

Explores the cultural shift in perception of greed starting from the 1980s, using popular media references like the movie 'Wall Street.'

Yeah, but the funny thing is like, I'm old enough to remember when that came out, which I think was in the late 80s. And it was used, it became political immediately. And it was like, this is what the Reagan era is like, and they're all greedy and whatever. And so of course, you know, I was not a liberal, so I was like, oh, shut up. But I do think that was the, it's been almost 40 years. That was the last time I remember anybody in the United States saying greed was bad. That was the last time. Have you ever heard anybody say that? Maybe some like far out wacko protester or something, but no one you'd ever meet.
