Greed is what makes people poor. We always want something more thats why we are never contented with what we have. We dont learn to appreciate the little things. If people only learn to embrace the importance of being contented then i think this world will be better in terms of economy.
How can greed make people poor? I'd love to hear you elaborate on this. I agree that it is good to be grateful for what you have. It doesn't mean that you can't desire something more. The Merriam-Webster definition of 'greed' is "a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (such as money) than is needed". You can have a healthy, reasonable desire for more of something that would not be greed at all. I find it very hard to see how greed can make people poor.
