All people have greed built in, but the European flaw is we began devouring the rest of the world and couldn't stop. Native American philosophers found white obsession with money odd; it was a mindset they could recognize but they'd taken steps in most tribes to discourage money-grubbing and wealth hoarding. We, the ancestors of Europeans in America, have made it into the highest virtue. We worship the Kardashians whose only job is to get rich, without adding anything to society. We have millions of bros (and some sisters) worshipping Elon Musk, a sad excuse for a human being. We have to stand up to these people instead of blindly following our societal values of more, more, more. Stop buying so much sh*t, including the message that growth is good. Growth is a euphemism for greed. Thanks for this article.
