Dale, I just read Robert Heilbroner's classic "The Decline of Business Civilization." He wrote it in 1976.
In it he predicted a society, country, civilization that reduces everything and everybody to the value of money - without any other worth - will destroy itself.
In such a society, vampires will pursue money regardless of the costs to the rest of the society.
He predicted that in 100 years from 1976 this trend would cause business civilization, including America's business civilization, to collapse and rewire itself again around more healthy values.
Heilbroner saw the future!
We are living the results of greed and the poisons it has released in our society.
We are moving toward the time when we are going to be willing to "reset" our values to restore concepts like honor, honesty, ethics.
