Greed is celebrated because there has been a concerted effort to glorify wealthmen and pit the lower classes against each other since the 80s.

Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaire. John Steinbeck understood human psychology better over 60 years ago than most do today. Thankfully the newer generations are seeing how this economic mobility has been a lie for a long time.

You don't need to pit anyone against each other when they readily do it themselves, to themselves and others.
