中文百科

贪婪 Greed

(重定向自Avarice)

贪婪Greed)指一种攫取远超过自身需求的金钱、物质财富或肉体满足等的强烈欲望。贪婪也可以指得寸进尺,永不满足,贪图的东西可能是属于别人的。贪心的个体为贪而贪,从不考虑自己是不是真的需要这些东西,也不理会其他个体的动机,常忽视其他人的福利,因此被社会视为"有害的"(经济学的解释,假定市场经济是零和博弈)。贪心的人让欲望主宰自己的思想和行动,结果贪欲就成了他的神。然而,贪婪渐渐为西方文化所接受,因为获取财富的欲望被认为是资本主义的重要组成部分,例如利润最大化。

Greed 贪婪

(重定向自Avarice)

The Father and Mother by Boardman Robinson depicting War as the offspring of Greed and Pride.
Avarice  (2012), by  Jesus Solana

Greed (OE grǽdum) is an inordinate or insatiable longing, esp. for wealth, status, and power.

As secular psychological concept, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs. The degree of inordinance is related to the inability to control the reformulation of "wants" once desired "needs" are eliminated. Erich Fromm described greed as "a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction." It is typically used to criticize those who seek excessive material wealth, although it may apply to the need to feel more excessively moral, social, or otherwise better than someone else.
