The character of Gordon Gekko from the hit movie Wall Street inserted the phrase and the belief that greed is good into the minds of countless Americans. But it was this greed is good mentality that sent Wall Street tumbling, and subsequently cost US taxpayers billions of dollars through the federal bailout plans. However, it isnt just the greed of Gekko-style CEOs that is killing the American economy, its the greed of average citizens, who strive to achieve wealth, fame, and power through almost any means necessary. Mike Papantonio discusses this topic with Jim Rubens, author of the book Over Success: Healing the American Obsession with Wealth, Fame, Power, and Perfection.
