Greed is Good, Dec. 26th 1997
”The point is, ladies and gentlemen, greed is good. Greed works, greed is right. . . . and greed, mark my words, will save not only Teldar Paper but the other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A."
Gordon Gekko, 1987

Greed is Bad, June 4th 2002”American corporations bore little
resemblance to today's hard-nosed institutions. Indeed, by modern standards they were Socialist republics.
C.E.O. salaries were tiny compared with today's lavish packages. Executives didn't focus single-mindedly on maximizing stock prices; they thought of them-selves as serving multiple constituencies, including their employees.
The quintessential pre-Gekko corporation was known internally as Generous Motors”.
Paul Krugman, 2002
