The Complete Book of Greed: The Strange and Amazing History of Human Excess Moneymania: Рассказ о том, как они рулят миром, как отдельные личности жаждут наживы, и что в деньгах сытости нет. Забавно, остроумно, и даже местами - трагично.
Goldberg reveals the quirks and characters of famous misers, gamblers, investors, spendthrifts, spenders, gold diggers, and billionaires while he talks about the reality of greed.

His anecdotal format results in an entertaining book, while his scary stories of the effect of greed almost make the reader glad not to be rich.
