Greed: A Dictionary for the Selfish

Description

The seductive lure of avarice has left a bitter taste on the tongues of many: Midas quickly learns to rue his golden touch. King Ahab's love of excess earns him a vineyard, but costs him his beloved Jezebel. And Macbeth's lust for power leads him to regicide. The aching desire for more has led to the downfall of many an upright man, but the ways in which this sin reveals itself are abundant. The myriad dimen sions of acquisitiveness, the most rapacious of sins, can be difficult to comprehend, but this dictionary of indulgence is your key to defining greed-in all its manifestations.
