Jacob Moore: So what's your number, Bretton?
Bretton James: More.

Among the many salient points Prof Williams makes here relates to greed. If greed is defined as people wanting more than they have, then all people are greedy. What differs among people are their preferences, meaning that what "more" means to each individual is unique.

"More" is multidimensional in nature. Immaterial as well as material. Many people forsake material income in favor of psychic and spiritual income. Food, money, love, peace, cares, knowledge, belonging, domination, disease- and hunger-free world, enlightenment, etc. "More" encompasses a mishmash of wants.

Some believe that while others are greedy, they are not. That is delusional. All people act in search of more.

Wanting more is axiomatic.
