society, threatening the quality of life and the very functioning of democracy. And while we tend to regard large fortunes as evidence of great talent or accomplishment, the vast new wealth isn't due to an increase in talent or effort at the top, but rather to changing social attitudes legitimizing greed and government policy changes that favour the new elite. Strong language. 2010.By Adam Smith. 1988
