Effects of Wealth on Individuals and Society
"As a person’s levels of wealth increase,
their feelings of compassion and empathy go down,
and their feelings of entitlement,
of deservingness,
and their ideology of self-interest increases.
In surveys,
we found that it is actually wealthier individuals
who are more likely to moralize greed being good,
and that the pursuit of self-interest is favorable and moral."
~ Paul Piff
