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
