On
March 11, 1999 ABC-TV aired "GREED"
with John
Stossel again.
(it originally
aired Feb. 3rd, 1998). It could be considered
ABC News correspondent John Stossel's most trailblazing documentary. HERE
HE DEMONSTRATES WHERE GREED, OF ALL THINGS, HAS BEEN GOOD TO EVERYONE.
Dr. David Kelley, ex-director of the Institute
for Objectivist Studies, and T.J.
Rogers of Cypress Semiconductor are interviewed.
ABC's promo
page entitled "The Good Greed Can Do" is HERE,
and the transcript is HERE.
Stossel presents
a new way to define greed by examining good things enlightened self-interest
can inspire: Better transportation, faster food, cheaper products. On the
program economist
Walter
Williams observes, "In our country those areas where people are
motivated the most by greed are the areas that we’re the most satisfied
with, supermarkets, computers, Fedex . . . and those areas where people
say we’re motivated by caring are the areas of disaster in our country,
such as education, the post office, police services, city garbage collection."
