Gordon Gekko "Greed is Good" Full Speech *read the description*

Gordon Gekko *unknowningly* describes the problems facing today's private sector, while blasting the bureaucracy responsible for said problems in the first place. A classic speech, both in film and, also, within economic thought.

This is for people who think Saipan is a free-market.

I recently published a VERY short and simple book on economic theory. Click here and give it a chance.

he says America was a 2nd rate power in the 80s??? what is it now after the economy has been massively dented

[chasen47]

To the person who posted this, you do realize that Oliver Stone intended Gordon Gekko to be a satire of 80's businessmen, and that he didn't agree with this speech at all?

"How can you complain about greed and then complain about low wages with a straight face?"

This conversation is over.  You just ended it. The fact that anyone with a reasonable amount of intelligence and logic who reads that above comment/sentence will know instantly that You possess none.

I thought I was talking to an adult with at least a rudimentary understanding and a modicum of common sense. Better luck next time . . .

Oh, and by the way?

"Greed is in the mode of ignorance."

How can you complain about greed and then complain about low wages with a straight face?

"What is YOUR reference point? Have You ever lived in the civilized world?"

I love how you just completely avoided the entire point of my comment to you. The point stands no matter what country you're talking about, be it Germany, Spain, or the US. It is not your place to say what job, hours, and pay is shit other than your own job, hours, and pay. If you seriously think that you can speak for other people, you're going to run into serious problems.

[Almir1618Preldzic]

"It's not your place to decide for everyone" . . . Really?

What is YOUR reference point? Have You ever lived in the civilized world?

Ever live in Germany, Austria or Switzerland? Unless You've actually lived outside the USA, in other actually civilized countries, Your point of reference is rather limited. Case Closed.

Greed is in the mode of ignorance. Driven by petty ego. Money is a tool, it's purpose & meaning only validated by the intention behind the means of acquisition and use.
