Exploring the origins and consequences of greed in human behavior, including the influence of competition, adaptation, social comparison, delusion, recognition, attention, and addictive behaviors.

It’s a reasonable feeling. But it sets off a chain reaction that leads to an inevitable boom-and-bust cycle.
This episode explores one of the most important topics in investing: the lifecycle of greed and fear, and why it cannot, and will not, ever go away.
