ABSTRACT
When Gordon Gecko pronounced that ‘greed is good’ in the movie ‘Wall Street’ he was probably half-right-but what he forgot to mention was that ‘fear is bad’. American investors not only listened to, but also believed, what Gordon Gecko (1988) stated
Greed, for the lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed in all its forms, greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the surge of mankind and greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.
