'"I suspect greed is a global problem?"

For the globe perhaps, Mr Ixer. Fortunately not here. For us greed is good'.

Perhaps in certain circumstances it is.

Greed probably was a major factor driving our Industrial Revolution and thence an overall increase in the wealth of the country (a key objective of Kier Starmer today).

And who would object to a greed for knowledge ?

There is of course a difference between greed and corruption though.

Unfortunately the first can in certain circumstances or countries such as Bangladesh for example lead to the second.

That is why the Treasury's Economic Secretary Tulip Sadiq is responsible for tackling corruption in UK financial markets.

Which is also why it is surprising to see her referenced in political and financial corruption scandals in a country where her wider family are or where so powerful. 

Oh, and wasn't it a good film ?!
