  • The Cost of Greed
    Book Two The Cost of Greed Originally published in Greed and Good: Understanding and Overcoming the Inequality That Limits Our Lives by Sam Pizzigati (Apex Press/Rowman & Littlefield, 2004). For more, see Inequality.org. THE PRICE WE PAY FOR INEQUALITY IF THOSE WHO FAWN OVER FORTUNES were right, if letting wealth accu- mulate were indeed the prime prescription for a healthy, vigorous soci- ety, we ought today to be enjoying a new American golden age. Never before, after all, have grand fortunes accumulated as prodigiously as they have over recent decades, at least not in modern times. Our econ- omy, given this awesome accumulation, ought to be vibrant, full of opportunity at every turn. Our enterprises should be generating wealth at extraordinary rates. We ourselves ought to be feeling stoked and energetic, confident that our hard work will be duly rewarded. Compassion ought to be flowing for the unfortunate, the arts ought to be blooming. We should be feeling absolutely terrific about ourselves and our country. But we aren’t. So what went wrong? What really happens when societies stand back and let great wealth accumulate in the pockets of a few? What has inequality cost us? The pages ahead will search for answers to these questions, in places both self-evident and somewhat surprising. We’ll explore the worksites where we labor and the neighborhoods where we live. We’ll look at our families and our friendships. We’ll examine what makes us happy and what makes us sick. We’ll probe why our professions no longer leave us proud, why our pastimes no longer bring us pleasure.
