[Jerry-S30957]

The ‘mad chase for quick wealth’ is nothing new; even in Biblical times, there were always people who found it more attractive to raid their neighbor’s flocks than to husband their own. Not many people are poor by choice, and most people would jump at the chance to become rich. The poor have always been with us, and so have the rich. On the other hand, there have also always been social institutions working to even things out: religions, primarily, and in some cases governments or political factions. There seems to be a natural rhythm to these things. In the late 1800s in the United States, the robber barons amassed enormous wealth and didn’t hesitate to exploit those whom they could; but they, and to a greater extent their children, became some of the greatest philanthropists ever.
