greed and capitalism
Famous examples of greed include the mythical [[King Midas]], who foolishly wished that everything he touched would turn to gold, and the bankers whose pursuit of short-term profit led to the financial crisis of 2008 in [[Europe]] and the [[US]].

[[Capitalism]] has been criticized for encouraging greediness.
