    S2 EP3 - Greed

    Avarice, or Greed as we would call it today, now there’s a proper vice, one we can all surely identify with, claim and confess to. One of the defining quotations of the materialistic 1980s came from the fictional character Gordon Gecko, the junk bond pirate played by Michael Douglas in the Oliver Stone film, Wall Street. “Greed,” he tells a dinner of fellow financiers, “for lack of a better word, is good.

    S2 EP9 - Wrapping Up

    I have been charmed and delighted to find that the comments that have come in for this series have been sound, friendly, helpful and informed.
