Greed and the market / John Meadowcroft -- Greed and the super-rich / Stephen Haseler and Henning Meyer -- Greed or competitive firms? / Jocelyn Pixley -- Back to the future : teaching the greed business / Ken Starkey and Cary Cooper -- The disputable truth of economic greed / Stephen Barber -- What drives man toward greed? / Alexis Brassey -- Greed in Jewish lore / Jeremy Rosen -- Condemning greed? Catholic perspectives / Patrick Riordan -- Working with greed : the challenge of inequalities / Marco Roncarati -- Sufficiency not greed : 'consume less, share more, enjoy life' / Derek Wall-- The narrative of consumption : greed and literature / Linda Freedman.

As the world reels in the wake of a banking crisis, the likes of which have not been seen in a generation, attention is naturally turning to the role of greed. For all of the technical explanations for meltdownin the financial markets, the simplest, most readily accepted and almost universal explanation is the single word 'greed'. The prospects of easy, risk-free, large profits which caricature the instinct of international finance might seem a world away. But, whatever some commentators might like to portray, greed is not confined to the financial markets. Greed is not the preserve of bankers, traders and brokers operating in isolation of the society in which the rest of us reside. Greed is a bigsubject which can at once be seen as the disease at the heart of society and the motivating force behind the progress of mankind.
