A seeming constant in the history of capitalism, greed has nonetheless undergone considerable
transformations over the last five hundred years. This multilayered account offers
a fresh take on an old topic, arguing that greed was experienced as a moral phenomenon
and deployed to make sense of an unjust world. Focusing specifically on the interrelated
themes of religion, economics, and health - each of which sought to study and channel
the power of financial desire - Jared Poley shows how evolving ideas about greed became
formative elements of the modern experience. -- from back cover
